Hello Moon - Vanity

I've raved about this band a couple times before but they're long overdue for a proper post. Hello Moon are from Dublin, used to be called The Tender Trap and are absolutely one of my favourites at the moment, playing lovely twee jangly indiepop that wouldn't be out of place on Postcard, early Creation, Sarah ... you get the picture. As a live act, they're shy, engaging and impossible to watch without breaking a smile at least once every three minutes. Really, I counted.

Their only release so far is a track under their old name on the Any Other City compilation EP, which you should buy (it also features New Amusement, who are pretty fabulous too). But they have a couple nice videos up on their Myspace page - including this one, which shows that they have as good taste in literature as in music.
