Here's one for lovers of slightly scruffy, wonderfully melodic British guitar pop! KAREN are a Bristol trio featuring DAVEY WOODWARD of THE BRILLIANT CORNERS alongside HUGO MORGAN and TOM ADAMS, with a collective musical history involving SECRET SHINE, LOOP, THE HEADS, THE EXPERIMENTAL POP BAND and THE BEATNIK FILMSTARS. Quite a pedigree, but thankfully nobody seems particularly interested in sounding respectable!

"Beat Of An Old Tune" is the follow-up to their 2022 debut album, recorded in just three days in Davey's garage after a lengthy break caused by other projects and health problems within the band. Rather than polishing everything to perfection, KAREN went for a spontaneous, raw approach, combining the melodic instincts of classic British indie-pop with the rough edges of post-punk and rock'n'roll. Think somewhere in the neighbourhood of THE MODERN LOVERS, TEENAGE FANCLUB, BIG STAR and THE BRILLIANT CORNERS, with enough grit to keep things interesting.

Released by SPINOUT NUGGETS and LIMITED TO JUST 300 VINYL COPIES! A particularly promising little discovery for fans of jangling guitars, sharp songwriting and power pop that doesn't sound like it was assembled in a laboratory.
