Heart Shaped is the power pop project of Kendall Bousquet, a DIY musician previously part of the Houston, Texas indie jangle-pop group Clare that released a brilliant tape on the Poison Moon label a couple years back. Now living in Belfast Ireland, this new solo tape under the Heart Shaped moniker captures a new set of exciting tunes, shimmering in the same fashion of the previously mentioned Clare, which documents learning to play guitar and their self-recorded DIY style for the first time. The result is this five-song tape of great, lo-fi DIY bedroom pop. –Mark Twistworthy (Poison Moon, heartshaped.bandcamp.com)
