When Snævar Njáll Albertsson launched his Dad Rocks! project in 2010, it didn’t take long until he was established as one of the indie-scene’s favourites.

Recalling the likes of Guided by Voices, Weezer and Pavement, Brighton via Manchester resident Record/Start has the art of slackerpop down to a tee.
