A quick My Space round up #2

As promised here is the 2nd My Space round up. This time I've stumbled across a couple of indiepop gems. These being The Soft Close-Ups and The Royal Trumpets.
The Soft Close-Ups are a new duo featuring Aug Stone (H-Bird, Rock Stone) and David Shah (Luxombourg). They have two synth tinged indiepop songs up for streaming. The first 'At The End of a Good Day' is the most upbeat of the two - starting a little like early Belle and Sebastian - but this gives way to a 80s pop feel. The other song is called 'Fireworks' and it's another slice of indie tinged synthpop - melancholly in outlook about someone losing all their sparkle. A sad song, then.
The Royal Trumpets are another duo. David Jonathan and Kathryn Maree Lillian. According to My Space they have roots in Hamilton, New Zealand as well as London. They have four songs for streaming on their My Space and they're fairly cutesy in their sound. It sounds like they're recording in an indiepop toyshop - with Melodica and Recorder to the fore. On 'A Brown Leaf' the cutesy approach gets mugged by some crunchy guitar mid song - but for the most part these are delightfully light songs that are perfect for warm summer days.
