I’ve been meaning to share this one for some time, and it’s certainly the season for some dreamy, jangly guitars. Here we have the lone tape by The Whittingtons, a band from Canada who would become An April March, shared previously\u00a0here<\/a>. I’d like to thank Danella, vocalist of both bands, who sent over a copy of this tape a few months back.<\/p>\n

This particular cassette was released in 1989 and features the\u00a0original lineup\u00a0of An April March (including original drummer Joe Walsh, who would play on a handful of tracks on Impatiens<\/em>).\u00a0The six songs here are all exclusives, and a few of them, such as opening track “Sylvian,” and closing track “When the Sky Falls” especially point to the lush dream pop sound that An April March would encapsulate just a few years later. Others, like “Beatrice”\u00a0and “Craving Wakes” are more firmly rooted in the jangle\/indie\/C86 sound, with a little bit of the folk vibes of bands like The Innocence Mission.<\/p>\n

However, we all know the lines can get a bit blurred between shoegaze, dream pop, and indie pop, so hopefully there’s plenty to enjoy here for everyone. With that in mind, here’s the details:<\/p>\n
