Song of the day – 534: Manors

Received the following Tweet yesterday:

“Get on your knees, boy/And be my man.” http://manors.bandcamp.com/. everetttrue you might like this.

Yes. Yes I do. An awful lot. These three songs might be three of the greatest awkward pop songs I’ve ever heard. I want to listen to them on repeat, over and over again, same way I once wanted to listen to Vampire On Titus, Beach Party, Palomine, The Groceries… so ramshackle and cuddly and spiky and GREAT.

And now you know exactly as much as I do, aside from these three words:

• girlpop
• indie pop
• Brooklyn

So ssh. Don’t tell anyone. They can be our personal secret pop crush. I don’t think they exist anymore, anyway.

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
