Argentinian songwriter Max Claps and James Hoare of UK indie-poppers Veronica Falls started a London band The Proper Ornaments with a penchant for hypnotic harmonies  and neo-psych. The stylistic touches on the album Wooden Head released as the Proper Ornaments’ debut Album, after last year’s promisingly ramshackle Waiting For the Summer, which collected previously released singles and EPs with those sweet Beach Boys vocal counterpoints sit Byrds style buzzing guitar interplay and some Velver Uunderground soundscapes. Claps and Hoare are joined by bass player Daniel Nell and drummer Robert Syme to complete the band.

As that list of comparisons probably suggests, the Proper Ornaments mix and match these related stylings with new bands such as Crystal Stilts and Woods, , and Real Estate  As with those bands’ efforts, though, Wooden Head is strongest when it leaves you remembering smart hooks and great songs

New York City band “Shark?” play indie-rock in its purest form: smart with lackadaisical guitar-bass-drums music,catchy and undercut with sentimental vibes. “Big Summer (Summer Ale),” from the band’s new “Summer Ale EP, builds upon last year’s full-length debut Savior. It’s the strongest song this band has done, and it approaches epic length by this band’s standards, but it still scrapes and sputters with lo-fi charm.
