The Shop Window

Jangle pop, indie pop band. Music obsessed and making music we love.
One from the archives, supporting 'Thousand Yard Stare' at Islington 02 Academy.
We’re trying to choose 10 tracks from our back catalogue for a possible vinyl only ‘Essential Shoppies’ compilation. It’s proving a bit tricky. If anyone fancies helping us out for fun, post your 10 below. ❤️😊 The comp would include an unreleased track. #musicsky #vinylsky #vinylrecords
#BandcampFriday bargain! Both records for £40 theshopwindow.bandcamp.com/album/daysdr...
Happy Birthday to our debut album ‘The State of Being Human’. 4 years young today! #musicsky #janglepop #indiepop #vinylsky #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity
Carl, Syd & Martin used to have a band called ‘Tracking Farrago’ a long time a go. Here’s an early photo from the studio. We all wish we still had that much hair! 😂 #musicsky
A year ago today, we released our third album ‘Daysdream’ The band thought I was mad when I said I would produce, record, mix, master and release it through our own label. I’m immensely proud of this album not just because of the music on it, but because it exists and is out there. #musicsky
Happy 50th Birthday to our very own tub thumper, Philip Elphee!🥁❤️🎶
Sometimes people listen to your music enough to really get it, then they say nice things about it and make you feel happy about all the effort you put into making that music. 😀❤️ #musicsky #vinylsky #vinylrecords #janglepop #indiepop
#nowspinning Shapes Like People - Ticking Haze Just checking the ‘Shop’ copy. 😉 Sounding glorious! #janglepop #dreampop #musicsky #vinylsky #vinylrecords
One week until the new Shapes Like People single ‘Ambition is Your Friend’ drops. Vinyl & CD of the album can be pre-ordered via Bandcamp ⬇️ shapeslikepeople.bandcamp.com/album/tickin... FFO #janglepop #indiepop #dreampop #shoegaze
My other project (Shapes Like People) has a new single out on 25th January. The album drops at the beginning of March. 😊 Shapeslikepeople.bsky.social
I’ve just been sorting through our vinyl stock of ‘Daysdream’ and have come across four more CDs, two of which are signed. I’ll add them to our Bandcamp page for anyone who is interested. theshopwindow.bandcamp.com/album/daysdr...
#nowspinning RIDE - Interplay Took me a while to fully appreciate this album but I absolutely love it now. ‘I Came to See the Wreck’ is fantastic!
@keithmoon.bsky.social @agarr45.bsky.social Managed to intercept the postie today, I just so happened to be camped out in the kitchen with a box of mince pies at the right time! 😅 Can’t quite believe I got these two beauties for £20
Happy Birthday to my dear friend and Shoppies partner in crime, Syd! Photos are from around 93/94 i think, when our journey and friendship began.
I've just found a cherished mixtape that an older friend gave to me when i was 16. This tape changed my life...
Just listening to the Mt Misery album, ‘Love in Mind’ Not sure if you know it but I think you might like it. Lovely stuff, powerpoppy in a gentle way, sits somewhere between TFC and Real Estate for me. I can tell it’s growing to grow on me lots.
#nowplaying Nada Surf - Never Not Together Wonderful album, wonderful band! Majestic melodies everywhere. 👌
All of us in the band have ranked our favourites too. See pics below.
There’s probably only a handful of people that have listened to all 3 albums enough to do this, but we’d love to know anyway. Rank them! 😅 5 years ago I would never have believed we would have 3 albums out, so we’re happy whatever. 😊
#nowplaying The Reds, Pinks & Purples - Unwishing Well Beautiful album from earlier in the year. FFO Jangle, Dreampop, indiepop
Four lovely people have already put ‘Daysdream’ in their replies to this. 😳 We’re going to dream that Mr Burgess is going to give it a listen later. 😊
