After decades of listening to female-fronted indiepop (think Talulah Gosh or Tiger Trap) I wasn’t expecting to be blown away by a new band in the genre. Enter counterexample The Cords, two sisters from the West of Scotland, whom everyone has been talking about lately. Whom everyone should be talking about, indeed, as their songs are so incredibly catchy. This is the final song of their self-titled debut album (released last month simultaneously by Slumberland and Skep Wax) and it so well captures the sadness I feel when I realize that the 13-song album has finished already.
