La Station Radar

La Station Radar - basically some people from France who like their music unpolished but with shiny pop hooks hidden inside - have a new CD compilation featuring some bands that we like. We thought we should probably tell you about it. The first of a new series from the label that has previously released the likes of Jeans Wilder, Pink Priest and former band of the day Dirty Beaches, it has new tracks from A Grave With No Name, Cloud Nothings, Blessure Grave, Twin Lion, Ancient Crux, Cough Cool and Deep Sht. Gnarly, noisy and dark with light melodies just creeping around the corners, it's the perfect antidote to pointless hype about 'soundtrack to your summer'.
