Frankie Cosmos ‎- 2014 - Zentropy

Frankie Cosmos is a twee pop project of Greta Kline and she's slowly but surely climbing up the fame steps by recently releasing an album on the Sub Pop label and doing world wide tours. But before all this she made a slew of self-released mini albums from 2012 up til 2014. Zentropy is probably the best of the bunch offering short and diverse songs which are all distinct from one another. Throughout the varied songs a constant form of self-hating and not so serious lyrical themes lurks behind the mainly happy melodies. Overall it's a great little album worth your attention even though some songs feel unfinished but they're all cute. Great for short bus trips.

Allo Darlin' - 2010 - Allo Darlin'

Once upon a time twee pop and jangly indie garbage was all the rage on the internet but it all died down relatively fast. What was left were a bunch of two-three album bands that are no longer active. Allo Darlin' is one of those short lived bands and this is probably their best and most famous effort. For what it is it's an enjoyable trek through twee pop songs about food, movies and love. They're all trite but ultimately lovable and catchy. If you are in a mood for it can be great. Check it out.

Roadside Poppies - Cycling and Crying

While twee pop isn't a genre of music that I know much about I still like to check out some of its artists every now and then. I can name a few bands and from what I heard this genre seems fun enough but I like it in short bursts. That's why I mainly have EPs of twee pop and perhaps this might be the time that I share probably my favorite twee pop EP. In case you haven't heard of it here are the basics of twee pop: it's mellow pop filled with happy melodies, cutesy vocals and silly lyrics (about love mostly).

Roadside Poppies released this back in 2007 and a few other demos and so. I don't think they have any official albums. The EP itself has a short and sweet set of just four songs. The first is probably the best one and it reeks of "It's summertime!" feelings, the whole EP is kinda like that actually. But all four are relatively catchy and fun to listen. The third track is probably my second best.

So yeah, if you're in the mood for some mellow tunes I suggest you check this out.
