Our Take

DOLLY MIXTURE - BBC Radio Sessions

When it comes to jangly, infectious indie pop, Dolly Mixture are the unsung heroes of the British music scene. This compilation of BBC Radio Sessions showcases the band's eclectic mix of punk energy and melodic whimsy, serving as a time capsule of their early career.

From the moment the opening chords of "Dream Come True" kick in, it's clear that this London trio has a knack for crafting catchy hooks and clever lyrics. The lo-fi production only adds to the charm, transporting listeners back to a time when indie music was all about DIY ethos and raw, unfiltered emotion.

Tracks like "Will He Kiss Me Tonight?" and "Everything and More" are perfect examples of Dolly Mixture's signature sound - equal parts jangle and sass, with a healthy dose of attitude thrown in for good measure. It's impossible not to tap your foot along to the infectious rhythms and sing along to the catchy choruses.

While the production quality may not be crystal clear, it's that rough-around-the-edges charm that makes these radio sessions so special. Dolly Mixture may not be a household name, but this compilation proves that their music is timeless and deserving of a spot in your record collection. So grab your Walkman, tune in to the BBC, and let Dolly Mixture take you on a trip down memory lane. Trust me, you won't regret it.
