Occasional Flickers - Heartfelt Indie Pop!

The Occassional Flickers are originally from Athens, Greece.The band centres around Giorgos who has since relocated to Edinburgh. Judging by the bands "Scottish" sound you would have thought that is where he originally hailed from! Giorgos has been going under the Occasional Flickers guise for a couple of years now and the début album Scattered Songs has just been released on Peru's Plastilna Records which is the home to the likes of Annemarie and Amida amongst others.
If you head over to My Space you will find three tracks from the album available for streaming. It's hard not to think of bands like Belle & Sebastian or Butcher Boy when listening to these songs. There is also an obvious influence taken from singer songwriters especially those who lean to a more folkish sound such as Nick Drake for example. Of the three I really like Sunward and on it you will hear where I am coming from regarding the comparisons. These are heartfelt indie pop songs of the lo-fi variety you will definitely want in your collection.
