Cheers to Skatterbrain for posting this recently released Cloudberry single from Je Suis Animal, as this was my first chance to finally listen to this band. I’ve seen their name tossed around here and there, but for some reason or another just didn’t bother to give them a chance. Of course, I know absolutely nothing about them, so I was able to learn a thing of two from The Finest Kiss who tosses a few comparisons that include the likes of Broadcast, Electrelane, and even Stereolab. That’s quite a trio right there, though, I can totally see similarities to the latter two. Maybe even toss in a little My Bloody Valentine too for a unique brand of psychedelic indiepop.
Their very first album is called Self-Taught Magic from A Book was released earlier this year on Norwegian label Perfect Pop, with an early December release due out on London label Angular Recording Corp. Still, no US release is planned as far as I know.

Self-Taught Magic from A Book was one of my favorite albums of 2008. Sparkle Spit and Fortune Map are terrific songs.
