polaroid blog guide to upcoming indiepop releases (in progress)

Non so bene a chi potrà mai servire, ma dopo la lista delle uscite 2014 pubblicata la settimana scorsa da Pitchfork mi è venuta voglia di farne una tutta per l'indiepop. Le informazioni che sono riuscito a raccogliere provengono dai siti delle etichette, dalle pagine delle band e ovviamente dalla mailing list Indiepop e dalla message board Anorak, sempre preziose. Di sicuro mi è sfuggita un sacco di roba interessante (per esempio, si sa qualcosa dei Pains Of Being Pure At Heart? E che succede, ehm, in Italia?).

Se avete aggiunte o correzioni da suggerire segnalatele pure nei commenti o mandate una mail. Grazie mille!
