This situation has to change
Allo Darlin! Some more good indie pop from the UK. Some of their songs remind me of Belle and Sebastian ("You still send me" is like an early B+S responding to late B+S's "You don't send me"), the Magnetic Fields ("Let's go swimming" definitely has an "All the umbrellas in London" vibe going on), and Jens Lekman (their version of the Boss's "Atlantic City" nicks the drum fill from Jens' "Maple Leaves", although no doubt Jens nicked that from somewhere else first). Maybe they're not as distinctive as Standard Fare, but with a list of influences like that who needs distinctiveness?
