I started hearing rumblings of this NYC duo of Alicia Jeanine and Jed Smith (from the terrific My Teenage Stride….for some reason I had no idea he was in the band until, like a few days ago) for a few months and liked what I’d heard and now here’s the 16-song record and it’s as good as advertised (Slumberland took out full page ads in Searstown and Two Guys circulars …Woolworths too). Alicia sings AND plays guitar and sounds a little like the gal from Veronica Falls while Jed is thumpin’ away on the bass and drums (a lil’ guitar, too) and they make quite a formidable duo. Plus at only 25 minutes long these 16 songs really move. They have to, they’ve gotta say what they wanna say and move on to the next one. I can’t tell if Alicia’s vocals are double or triple tracked or maybe they got all of the members of Shop Assistants in the room to sing too but either way her vocals sound super cool, echoey,  reverby and very far away yet right there. A few classic cuts here include “Too Late” which sounds like prime Flying Nun circa 1987 (or prime Slumberland, which it is, circa now) “Where I Stand,” “Either Way,’ “You Were Mine,” “In this House” and plenty more. Fans of The Courtneys, Look Blue Go Purple, Tiger Trap or any C-86 band worth their salt will dig this. Warning, listening to the Jeanines can be very addictive so if you get addicted don’t blame me (or go ahead and blame me).    www.slumberlandrecords.com

Did Not Chart is one of my fave music blogs - it’s got taste, perspective and style. It is always treat when they talk about one of our releases, and this Jeanines piece is more than just a review, it’s a meditation on indiepop, vinyl and the economics of “disposable” pop. Excellent. “Albums by heritage rock artists are released on vinyl to make hefty profits and for people to take seriously. They’re really making a case for the CD revival. This Jeanines record has been released to make people happy. Job done.”
