It's been almost a decade since Aberdeen's Sarah Records debut. The release of two stunning EP's in 1994 made us believe they were gearing up for something more substantial, but 1995's band split made orphans of their dozens of charming pop tunes. Time, however, is the answer to all quarrels (thank goodness) and Beth and John are back with an expanded line-up that shares their love of smart, catchy pop tunes. With "Homesick and Happy to be Here," it's like Aberdeen never left us. They may be a little older    [ read more ]

Release a couple of EPs, split up, and re-form seven years later to record your debut album -- it isn't usual practice, but that's exactly what Aberdeen did. In the face of their circumstances, or because of them, Homesick and Happy to Be Here is a roomy, positively beaming sort of record of diamond-sharp mid-tempo indie pop, a uniquely delayed first attempt that runs somewhere between Jeepster earnestness and the flagrant sparkle of the Trash Can Sinatras' Cake.

Before Belle & Sebastian became the poster children for all things twee, there was Aberdeen. Fronted by high school sweethearts John Girgus (guitar) and Beth Arzy (vocals/bass), and a rotating cast of musicians (and a drum machine), Aberdeen issued a handful of singles and EPs for seminal U.K. imprint Sarah Records. But with the demise of Sarah in 1995, Aberdeen broke up, and they would do it one more time before ultimately calling it quits in late 2005. Creative and personal stra   [ read more ]
