One of the great joys of this band is their versatility. Compare the above song with the joyous chaos of the instrumental "Mexico" --
But they continue to surprise with the gentle, sun-kissed closer "Bone Pink".
Say Sue Me are Choi Sumi (vocals/guitar), Kim Buyngkyu (lead guitar), Kim Jaeyoung (bass), and Lim Sungwan (drums). Time Is Not Yours is out now via Damnably.
The first is Late Nights. Released in January, it leads with a new version of their 2015 single "Always". It is labeled the 'late night' version because it is intentionally darker in tone than the original. The second track, a similarly dark version of "Could Have Been Me" from the band's Diary album. The third track is a lovely surprise -- a 'late night' version of their initial single, the 1992 "You Are The Kind".

Late Nights EP Vol. 2 arrived in March. It also has three late night versions of popular songs from previous albums. In this case the songs are "Caroline (I Found Love)" from the album Diary, "Breaking Up Is Easy" from the Kristina album, and "Swedish Winter" from the album Stockholm. On a personal note, the last two are among our favorites.
Simon and Wendy of UK band The Popguns are icons around the WYMA World Headquarters taproom Executive Suite. But it isn't just because of our love of The Popguns. Working in the more acoustic space as a duo they have been recording as The Perfect English Weather. The project highlights their knack for euphoric melodies and evocative songwriting. We understand that they will release a new album in May, but for now you can swoon with us over the singles "Caroline of Brunswick Square" and "London-By-The-Sea". The digital releases are out now via Matinee Recordings.

It's time for a Matinee matinee! What, exactly does that mean? Well, it means that we are going to publish a series of posts about recent releases from the one and only Matinee Recordings. We usually don't stack posts about releases from a single label, but Matinee is one of our favorites and they have been busy lately. Stay with us, all are terrific, and these small labels deserve our support.

What does it sound like. Well, we have to admit that once we heard it, we understood the reference to heartbreak pop. It is absolutely gorgeous in tone and composition while depicting the slow dissolution of a relationship.

We have no details on the upcoming album as it is still being recorded. But it seems that it will be released via the venerable Flying Nun Records.
