No Pain in Pop

Within eleven tracks, the No Pain In Pop compilation covers Telepathe's spooked, low-slung Brooklyn beat, the ramshackle new-Italo of Nite Jewel, Sunni-Geini's melodic dubstep, the ferocious white noise of HEALTH, Banjo or Freakout's spaced-out polyrhythms, the evocative, bucolic impressionism of A Grave With No Name, Abe Vigoda's lo-fi tropical punk and the woozy, dreamy guitar pop of Trailer Trashy Tracys. The result is an eclectic but entirely coherent compilation - a mix of emerging and established sounds from the UK and US. As each band is related to No Pain In Pop in some degree - whether by release on the label, live show or blog feature - the compilation serves as an introduction to all that No Pain In Pop is. As a result, it is simply titled No Pain In Pop.
