Black vinyl LP re-issue. Edition of 500. Cindy don't do many things loudly- but their seemingly sudden emergence a few years back was quite the jolt their Free Advice LP doing for the current San Fran scene what the Big Supermarket record did for Melbourne a year or two back - ie a totemic outta-nowhere DIY statement of rare vision. As it turns out though it's not quite without precedent since there was actually a self-released debut record from 2018 first pressed in tiny number and initially not moving much further than their immediate locale. A few years on and now trading for inflated prices on the second hand market Tough Love are re-issuing in order to shine a little light on the band's first steps. These ten tracks display the ruminative formation of the minimal indiepop sound perfected on Free Advice skeletons of the same ideas with a little less flesh on dem bones nonetheless struck with a naive wonder like you're afforded the opportunity to hear the band stumbling upon their own charms in real time. And that is 100% the appropriate word here - charm a quality perfectly captured in that front cover too. It's not possible to overstate how endearing this music is so independent is it of outside influence and free of self-consciousness. Is this the birth of the new Paisley Underground? Or maybe something better...
