Autocamper: What Do You Do All Day? (digital outlets)

Some days, overcome by the stress of living in the troubled first quarter of the 21st century, you just want an album to play a bit too loud and which isn't therapeutic for the artist whose troubles gets dumped on you.

Welcome then to your computer, car or turntable Manchester's Autocamper who like the idea of jangly guitars and alt.rock with slightly melancholy pop inclinations. And getting a bit folkadelic.

Therejust  aren't enough songs which mention ice creams and miniature railways, are there?

Some have likened them to early Flying Nun (don't hear too much of that, except maybe a smidgen of early Sneaky Feelings) and the charming sound of Scotland's Postcard Records or Britain's Pop Frenzy label (the Clientele, Camera Obscura).

If some or any of those references mean anything to you, this dialed-up bedroom pop debut could just allow you to put the 21st century blues back in the box for another day.

You'll be the first on your block to have discovered them too.

Win-win all round.
