Mr Laurie, the genial man behind Something In Construction records, emailed us earlier this week full of reflective, seasonal cheer. We "We have had a pretty good year, here at SIC Towers. Records, rather than kidneys, were sold. And that is a good thing." We heartily concur, and therefore thank Mr Laurie for the Something In Construction sampler he's sharing via our websheet. Via the Soundcloud below you can listen to and download music from SiC artists including the always-brilliant Memory Tapes, The Silent League, NIVA and Loney Dear, who earlier today gave us the most emo interview ever. Says Mr Laurie of his compilation "Something In Construction brought a little sunshine into 2011. Some maybe damn fine albums. Colour and bounce, head and shoulders, heart ansd soul, light and shade, a hubcap diamond star halo. Try a slice... please, it's just... pop music."
