The Woodies - Five Years From Now (1987, Pop)

My recent post of The Woodies '89 ep Train Wreck went over big with a lot of you, so I thought I'd share one of their prior convictions. More of that tasty collegiate indie rock manna with a homespun angle, that for the record was several notches above lo-fi. By and large these guys (and girl) churned out some quality tunes, not terribly far removed from say, the Windbreakers, early Trotsky Icepick and such. The first half of Five Years From Now is well above average, and the flip side, while exhibiting some occasional dabs of lyrical clumsiness is still refreshingly genuine. I really wish more bands had followed in the Woodies humble albeit gratifying footsteps.

The Delfields - Ogres (2008)

Surprisingly, the internet doesn't have much to offer on The Delfields despite this album having only been in existence for ten years. In terms of band-specific details, I can only inform you that these are five NJ cats who seem to have an affinity for Office Space, based on their depiction on the back of the cd case. Luckily, their album is considerably more enticing. Ogres is bejeweled in shimmering, lucid indie pop, tuned into the given intelligentsia of the time - Shins, early Rogue Wave and even Outrageous Cherry. We're served nine concise slices here, and the Delfields don't piddle away a second on anything frivolous or contrived. Be sure to indulge in the sprite "Fawn Fight" for maximum sustained tingle inducement. 01. A Slippery Slope 02. Honest 03. Francine 04. Short Sleeves 05. Ogres 06. Solvents and Vacuums 07.
