Ciao ciao bomb b/w Wentworth 7"
Cloudberry Records
This is indiepop music for indiepop people. Chances are high that if you're in the target audience for this record, you probably already know about it and have made up your mind about whether or not it will become part of your collection. For the rest of us, here's the scoop: this is the first vinyl 7" released by prolific singles-only label Cloudberry Records out of Florida. They've been putting out a small, but successful run of twee/C86-focused 3" CDRs (and other stuff) for awhile now, so it's only natural that they try their hand at something bigger. Does it succeed? Well sure, I guess so. That is, if you like the idea of Swedish boys crooning like Morrissey over shimmering guitars and drum machine beats. As for me, let me just say that I prefer "Wentworth" over the flipside and leave it at that.
