About This Item
Dedicated to the power of pop music, Sobs are Singapore's premier indiepop propagandists. After releasing a breakout bedroom pop EP Catflap and a dream-jangle LP Telltale Signs that brought international embrace, Sobs now assemble a front-to-back indiepop behemoth - Air Guitar - after a much anticipated three-year wait.A thirty-minute trip for the post-Internet consumer, Air Guitar calibrates inventive pop hooks for the indie rock lover, instantly accessible yet intricately arranged. The album draws a line through the history of pop stylistics from 80s new wave (InchLast ResortInch) and 90s power-pop (InchBurn BookInch) to 00s sk8er punk and radio pop (InchAir GuitarInch). Further informed by the cosmopolitan, culturally astute ethos of PC Music - Sobs connects the uptempo of Shibuya's Advantage Lucy (InchLucked OutInch), heart-on-sleeve indie rock of Bettie Serveert and Big Star (InchWorld ImplodeInch), with the eclecticism of New York's Darla Records (InchFriday NightInch) to define the pulse of indiepop then and now.
