International Teachers of Pop
Momentum has certainly gathered pace as expected with new album releases for February vis-รก-vis January's traditional quiet. A long-awaited sophomore solo album from Animal Collective's Panda Bear in Buoys, the follow up to my 2015 album of the year, Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper, came out on Friday. Syndey artist Julia Jacklin, who we had the pleasure of being introduced to by Australian radio DJ Mick Radojkovic back in 2016 when he shared a collection of rising Australian acts with us, will release her second LP, Crushing, on 22nd of February. Four of the ten acts on our playlist are brand new to my ears, Tourist, Girlpool, Methyl Ethel and International Teachers of Pop, the last of which I'm particularly smitten by instantly, not withstanding their wonderful play on Serge Gainsbourg's famous 1971 song title.
