AIR GUITAR/VINYLE TRANSPARENT 180GR

Description

Dedicated to the power of pop music, Sobs is Singapore's first indie pop propagandist. After releasing a chamber pop EP, Catflap, and a dreamy LP, Telltale Signs, which garnered international acclaim, Sobs is now assembling an indie pop giant – Air Guitar – after a highly anticipated three-year wait. A thirty-minute journey for the post-Internet consumer, Air Guitar calibrates inventive pop hooks for the indie rock enthusiast, instantly accessible yet intricately arranged. The album draws a line through the history of 80s new wave pop stylings ("Last Resort") and 90s power-pop ("Burn Book") to 00s skater punk and pop radio ("Air Guitar"). Informed by the cosmopolitan and culturally savvy ethos of PC Music, Sobs connects the high tempo of Shibuya's Advantage Lucy ("Lucked Out"), the indie rock of Bettie Serveert and Big Star ("World Implode"), with the eclecticism of New York's Darla Records ("Friday Night") to define the pulse of indie pop yesterday and today.
