Jeanines And Lightheaded Announce New Singles, Albums And UK Tour

JEANINES and LIGHTHEADED, two of the brightest American indiepop bands, have new albums coming out in June.  Skep Wax Records (UK and Europe) are delighted to be co-releasing them alongside Slumberland Records (US). 

Jeanines’ third album ‘How Long Can It Last’ sees the New York  band in total control of their songcraft, with thirteen miniature pop gems. Jeanines can fit in more melody and more breathtaking choruses in two minutes than most pop bands manage across an entire album.  First single ‘On And On’ demonstrates this perfectly.  How can such a brief pop song be so overwhelming?  

Lightheaded, from New Jersey, are one of the most exciting new US pop bands, and this album combines a brand new set of songs with five tracks from their delightful Good Good Great EP, a cassette-only release on Slumberland, now available on vinyl for the first time.  Lightheaded bring together the songwriting discipline of Nancy and Lee with a modern appetite for noise and reverb.  It’s possible to get utterly lost and absorbed in this album. The songs echo classics of the past but also feel like they’ve arrived from the distant future.  It’s quite disorienting, but very exciting.  The first single, ‘Same Drop’, is no exception to this rule. 

Jeanines and Lightheaded both appear at the Skep Wax Weekender in London (Jeanines: Thursday 17^th July, Lightheaded: Saturday 19^th July).   They then go on a week-long tour of the UK together, ending up in Glasgow, wrapping up the mighty Glas-Goes Pop festival.
