| | Encyclopedia: Jangle pop |
 | | Jangle pop was an American musical genre that arose in the middle of the 1960s, combining angular, chiming guitars and power pop structures. | | | Jangle Pop was a mostly American post-punk movement of the mid-'80s that marked a return to the chiming guitars and pop melodies of the '60s. | | | Jangle Pop was a short-lived but very welcome genre of mid-80's rock; a roots-rock subgenre, it was a reinvention of the 60's folk rock sound crossed with 80's pop sensibilities, often with a punky, brisk tempo. |

| | Pop fans won't be disappointed by this thirteen track album that Lee labored over for eighteen months with some talented producers and sidemen. | | | Matthew may still be releasing excellent pop music twenty years from now, but this radio-friendly track from his Girlfriend album will always remain my favorite song by him. | | | Rick Gallego made his pop debut in 1996 as Jiffipop, and he continues to compose and record pseudo-60s gems as Cloud Eleven. |

| | The Melodie Group: Updownaround - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Yes, the Melodie Group is to thank for this outburst, but take a listen to their debut album and let me know if anything but the word "jangle" comes to mind. | | | The group -- which is hardly a group at all, as it relies almost exclusively on the Windmills' Roy Thirlwall, who writes/sings/performs every song -- draws heavily from its indie pop forefathers on its debut album, but never reaches the same heights of the bands it emulates. | | | If jangly is the way I have to describe the sound emanating from my CD speakers when the Melodie Group's Updownaround, so be it. |

| | Like jangle pop, the bands in the paisley underground revived the clean, chiming textures of folk rock, but they had a more psychedelic bent to their sound. | | | Jangle-pop bands weren't necessarily revivalists -- they updated the ringing guitars and melodies of '60s guitar pop for the '80s -- but the paisley underground was determined to keep the sound of the '60s alive, through their music and their appearance. | | | Quercio continues to play in L.A. pop bands, while Gutierrez became a principle member of Mary's Danish, and Falkner is a solo recording artist. |

| | Their newest find is Barcelona-bred pop mavens The Gurus, whose luminous, coquettish brand of sixties-indebted guitar pop sounds like a fifty-minute love note to FM radio, breezy summer girls and Alex Chilton. | | | Overflowing with power pop, Brit psychedelia and a dash of Mersey-beat, this first full-length album conjures up the Beatles, the Kinks and even Oasis. | | | The album is brimming over with Revolver-esque psychedelia, power-pop, pure guitar pop and jangle that evokes label-mates Cotton Mather and Telepathic Butterflies at the same time brings to mind such a diverse mixture as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Firefall, Little River Band and even, Oasis. |

| | All Music Guide calls this "jangle pop." Their definition of that term says "Jangle pop was an American post-punk movement of the mid-'80s that marked a return to the chiming guitars and pop melodies of the '60s." That is a good description of this disc. | | | On the contrary, they are examples of the wide range of style and feeling that can be found in this type of music: from jangle pop guitar to dissonant piano playing; from gentle and melancholy to bold and jazzy. | | | It is noisy pop music at its best, completely different from Delcampo's soft music. |

| | Starcitybaby opens with the jangle pop of "Starspangledsatellites", employing a nice use of the guitar's harmonics and even featuring a backwards loop as a reprise at song's end. | | | Since the debut is out-of-print, the band re-recorded three numbers for this disc, while the new songs are a mix of tried-and-true ‘60s pop, with some overt ‘50s influences really coming to the fore. | | | Dulcet jangle pop is the fare with "Need to See You Tonight", a simple love song of the let's go anywhere, let's do anything variety, fueled by impressive guitars. |

| | Despite the fact that most power pop sounds made for the radio, most of this album does not; it sounds as though it's been crafted by fans of jangle pop, for fans of jangle pop. | | | Flamingo's self-titled debut CD is big on the same kind of sun-drenched, southern jangle pop popularized by Let's Active, the dB's, Big Star, and latter-period Teenage Fanclub. | | | Despite that, {Flamingo} have got the formula right, their sound is less direct, their hooks less forceful, and the performances slightly more homespun, so listeners will likely either find their sound to be unpolished or lovingly familiar. |

| | Opening track "Perfect Day" is soaring psychedelic pop with wah-wahed guitar spilling out of the bottom of the chorus. | | | Yet the music inside reveals the group to be an orderly, even conventional, pop band. | | | The album is aconsistent, though rather familiar sounding affair, that runs from feedback filled jangle to slower, moodier tracks like "Disillusioned." Definitely more velvet curtains and paisley than sweethearts and sunshine. |

| | Love and Latitude, the debut full length CD from Brooklyn-based indie rock band Jerkwater, is an exceedingly tuneful mix of wistful, melancholy jangle pop with a distinctly '80s-era Athens, GA, flair. | | | Sturdy jangle pop outfit from Brooklyn, they rise above the mundane with funny/sad/dark lyrics, subtle but effective vocals and the odd flourish of cello and harmonica. | | | Longwave is part of New York's decent pop army, but Jerkwater comes in a notch higher--the brooklyn trio's Love and Latitude (plus) just strings one simple pop hook after another. |

| | Penelopes: Eternal Spring Aversion.com Review |
| | “Love Is,” like most tracks on this album, breaks from the band’s sometimes-tradition of building on keyboard melodies for a tune whose effervescent guitars playfully flirt with power-pop but never get aggressive to leave the sounds of jangle behind. | | | Singer Tatsuhiko Watanabe’s delivery borders on the lifeless at times — a shortcoming that, as the album progresses, becomes more and more obvious — and bassist Chigusa Miyata rarely breaks out of the Jam-styled bounce that makes most of the songs run together. | | | The act checks The Jam’s “A Town Called Malice” on “Heart and Soul” with a familiar, bouncing bass line, but coats the track in enough sugary, twee-pop melodies to keep it from sounding to much like the Woking trio. |
