\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trying to stay more active these days, for my sanity as well as for your ears’ sake. Up on the slab are\u00a05 (FIVE) 12”s by late 80s dream pop\/indie pop band The Heart Throbs. This band has been a forever favorite since I first saw the video for “Dreamtime<\/a>” back in the early 2000s. That song kills me in every which way. But before that blissful melody was recorded and the band got traction via One Little Indian, the band cut their teeth on a slew of successful 12” singles, each one as good as the last. Some of the tracks were remixed for inclusion on their underrated debut record,\u00a0Cleopatra Grip<\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>which came out in 1990.<\/p>\n

I reckon a lot of folks are already familiar with this band, but if not, best touchstones are bands like Kitchens of Distinction, Darling Buds, Lush, The Primitives, early Throwing Muses, The Sundays, and so on. Rough Trade ahoy!<\/p>\n
