Boston trio Pants Yell! is anchored by singer/guitarist Andrew Churchman, who deftly maneuvers his band through nine jangly indie-pop songs in less than half an hour on the band’s fourth album Received Pronunciation, the first for Slumberland. It follows last year’s horn-lined Alison Statton, which came out via ever trusty Soft Abuse. Things are more stripped down this time: You get a taste of the minimalism in the playfully laidback Rene Dongo-directed video for “Someone Loves You.” The sound’s pleasantly familiar — I can’t believe it’s not Butterglory! — and the guys do a great job weaving a detailed storyline into the track’s efficient twee hook. Waste not, want not.

holy hell, i remember seeing this band at the middle east club when i was visiting my sister at college. they opened up for harry and the potters. harry. and. the. potters. churchman kept apologizing for things being “too loud” and it was the cutest ever. actually, this may have been the first concert i went to. glad to see them get pretty far.

can not wait to see you all in NYC next week
sterling and david so excited!!!
indie rock/pop is stagnant lately. there are no people really pushing it or taking it to a new level. Could indie be for all intents and purposes be…dead?
