It’s surprising how Ano(t)raks turned into this incredible feeder system for slightly larger labels. Call it a mix of having a good ear for great indie-rock, and a bit of good timing too…Ano(t)raks was one of the first places to get ahead of the whole “city pop revival” thing via comps loaded up with mellow numbers. Add Bearwear to the list of form compilation inclusions now getting a bit more shine. The group’s “I’ll Take You Anywhere” finds a midpoint between on-trend laid-back rock and indie-pop, conveyed through the slightly scrappy guitar lines and the heart-on-sleeve love lyrics. It’s pure Ano(t)raks), creeping towards something bigger. Listen above.
