Albums to enjoy a pot of tea with # 4 & 5 Pants Yell! Alison Statton & Received Pronunciation
















It’s fair to say that when you first hear Pants Yell!, your whole body is taken over by a wave of uncontrollable delight which is reason enough for us to add not one but two albums into the “Enjoy with a pot of tea” category. To be fair both of these albums are both short and more importantly sweet enough to be listened to back to back. Quite frankly a superior way to spend an hour.

Sadly Pants Yell! are no longer with us having decided to call it quits in the summer of 2010 (a great shame as the Tuckshop faithful only stumbled across them at the tail end of 2009) however in their trail they have left a brilliant legacy of cheery American art school indie basement pop. Both Alison Statton and Received Pronunciation (possibly their 3rd and 4th Albums) are a welcome addition to any record collection as their songs evoke images of run down rehearsal rooms, small sweaty gigs at parties and art student liberation.

be sure to bag yourself copies of both Alison Statton and Received Pronunciation
