I Can't Believe You Said That
Incredibly, it's now over a year since I shared 'No Sign' by the Serafina Steer led trio Bas Jan (here), a song that would go on to be one of my favourites of 2017. Now, finally, after considerable line-up to-ing and fro-ing within the ranks, comes the band's debut long player, 'Yes I Jan'. It's a sparse, spiky, post-punk affair that deals in the mundanities of everyday life and has more brilliantly quirky pop songs than you can shake a stick at. If you find that 'Argument' hits the spot, check out the whole album over at the Lost Map Bandcamp page.

Bas Jan
Right at the moment, it takes something pretty special to prise my ears away from the fantastic Sacred Paws LP, which has been on constant rotation around these parts just lately. Serafina Steer, Sarah Anderson and Jenny Moore got my attention though. Together they are Bas Jan (named after the Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader) and their terrific new tune is 'No Sign'. Seriously - how great is this? (Buy it for a quid here)
