Another release on Series Two Records. This is another release that compiles previous EPs - this time by Oh! Custer as well as some brand spanking new songs too.Oh! Custer first came to my attention via their fab Cloudberry Records release last year and this 11 song collection contains all three songs from that release 'Post', 'Your Name' and 'October'.
Oh! Custer make a fine and slightly lilting indiepop, although it can seem a little bit samey after repeated listens. Again, if it sounds a little Swedish, that's probably because it is. And that is certainly the case here. The pop on 'States' comes tinged with a little more melancholly than the sunshine pop offered up by Springfactory. The guitars chime in all the right places. Oh! Custer sound like a band that would have sounded right at home on Sarah Records in the early 1990s.
I have to admit my appetite for this sound isn't as strong as it once was - but that's not really the fault of Oh! Custer and if you liked what they released on Cloudberry you will like this. I just think I need a little more variation in their sound to completely hook me. This is limited CDr release and it's worth snapping up if you are that way inclined.
