[Carson Ward]

sure man one sec

[Ethan Evans]

thanks

[Thomas Peterson]

IMHO beat happening S/T is their best love the other albums but everything on that is twee at its best.

[Dominic Mitchell]

Keep meaning to delve deeper into the genre, love a lot of what I've heard

[Luis Williams]

I love the shop assistants.

Pic related is pretty twee. It's very indebted to acts like the field mice and early mbv

[Liam Gomez]

great record, I'm more inclined toward the more post-punky side of the spectrum though

[Jonathan Reyes]

Shop Assistants - s/t (1986)

[Jordan Ward]

here have this in return, it's kind of a stretch to call it twee, but it definitely has elements of it

[Kayden Morales]

I have to say more than anything, the first Pains album is mostly indebted to Rocketship.

[Daniel Ortiz]

[Joseph Foster]

I've never listened to twee before but i'm listening to the OP image right now and really digging it. Is there a recommendation chart anywhere? Essentials?

[Christian Thomas]

Thanks! Listening now :)

[Leo Bailey]

there you go

[Julian Cruz]

looks like this has been made before

muessentials.com/2012/04/essential-twee-pop.html

[Charles Campbell]

[David Martinez]

Omg the vivian girls are on this chart. I haven't thought about them in forever.

[Ian Jackson]

[Carter King]

omg twee thread, I never saw one on Sup Forums.

youtube.com/watch?v=EeeNSFIajsI ultimate twee song

[Anthony Lee]

hell yeah

saw them at sf popfest two years ago, so good

[Kevin Bailey]

one of my favorites in recent years. you seriously gotta hear it if you haven't

[Dylan Nguyen]

Seems weird to have only one beat happening album on an essential chart, and to have it be that one.

[Kayden Flores]

new to twee
is there anything comparable to the songwriting on this? not necessarily in terms of length, but those melodies are so lovely

[Noah Phillips]

tried really hard to get into frankie. but never liked her unfortunately

[Ayden Phillips]

really? i got hooked like immediately, which is rare for me

[Carter Morgan]

finally a general that isn't full of shitposting and people who have no idea what they're talking about.
I'm proud of you, /twee/

[John Wood]

I asked for some twee recs a few weeks ago and got no replies, then this shows up

love ya guys

[Zachary Price]

youtube.com/watch?v=UVwE7T5Tyeg this ep is best heavenly work ever

[Eli Green]

nah vocals were nice but everything else felt more like a youth lagoon ripoff and he does that better. even diiv
tho we're going more into jangle pop territory
I loved ALvvays debut

Diet Cig makes me think of tweemo, and Los Campesinos' second album We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed does too.

[Chase Diaz]

my personal favorite of rose melberg's projects. if you like tiger trap, imagine all of the grit being sanded off and you get go sailor. on first listen i felt like it was kind of samey, but in this case it's definitely not a bad thing.

[Gabriel Perry]

check out trixies big red motorbike - all day long in bliss and lullatone - plays pajama pop pour vous

[Leo Bennett]

Is Felt twee? I'm a real Felthead, but only up until Sunlight Bathed the Golden Glow.

Pic related is 30 minutes I'll never get tired of relistening.

[Michael Morgan]

What do you guys think about this?

youtube.com/watch?v=NXi9KYIvBmU&

[Elijah Clark]

holy shit i love you please post your lastfm if you have one.. i cannot stress enough how underrated this album is i prefer it over all their later work evergreen dazed and i worship the sun are such amazing songs

[Leo Martin]

125 rue montmatre are so good

[Lucas Bailey]

Nobody else seems to love Tender Trap, Heavenly, etc. ITT but 3 hours later I'm still coming back to this song. And Brown Eyes from the same album (Film Molecules) made me cry. Dammit if twee doesn't hurt sometimes.

[Robert Martin]

Holy shit this is so good and right up my alley.
thanks man

[Liam Butler]

Fuck I love twee. I think "Heavenly vs. Satan" is my favorite album. I feel that "Colossal Youth" by Young Marble Giants should be considered a go-to precursor albums, maybe on the chart or whatever. What do you guys think? Also Quarterkbacks (New Paltz NY) are pretty good.

[Josiah Thompson]

Nice man. Heavenly never made a bad song, so listen to their whole discography if you haven't yet. They become better and better at playing from release to release.

[Sebastian Flores]

In case you guys are interested, a couple years ago Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide) put together a mix for Fader including a lot of the bands mentioned in this thread (Heavenly, Rocketship, Trixie's Big Red Motorbike, Go Sailor, etc.). It's a great listen and turned me on to a few new bands that I now love.

[Benjamin Robinson]

I'm a Cathedral, Fortune and Templeroy man myself. Listen to the youtube clip entitled Felt on Spanish TV 1985 if you haven't yet, it's their only good live performance online. Great renditions of Cathedral, Stagnant Pool and Sunlight Bathed...

[Thomas Smith]

still one of my favorite songs ever

[Parker Mitchell]

Calvin's new single is pretty good.

[Jason Campbell]

Is
Velocity girl by Primal Scream considered twee pop?

youtube.com/watch?v=d8KynrRA1u8

[Bentley Campbell]

bump for interesr

[Jeremiah Young]

I'd say yes for velocity girl, not so sure about primal scream though
