While No One's Looking by I Wanna Be A Truck Driver

twee pop / twee / jangle pop / indie pop

After the critical acclaim afforded their I Wanna Be A Truck Driver's self-titled debut album that our Subjangle label finally released in 2024 after finding the 2022 digital release hidden away in their little corner of Bandcamp, it came as something of a surprise that a new album surfaced digitally in March of this year and certainly made the While No One's Looking title somewhat apt.

But someone, in fact many people, was now looking, and it was not long before Subjangle was inundated with e-mails asking where the CD release was!? So here we are, ready to go in terms of releasing this superb follow-up album on CD and trying to get the album the love it deserves.

Plainly influenced and totally immersed in the alternative jangly indie-pop traditions of their Glasgow-based roots, the duo are somewhat naturally the best of a whole host of modern-day acts that cite Glas-pop as their influences, offering their sound courtesy of the product of natural osmosis rather than a semblance of contrivance that can almost immediately be identified in those that do not quite 'own it.'

Traveling from the lo-fi, The Vaselines-esque jangly rumblings and male/female harmonies of Truck Of Trouble and the superlative standout tracks of Hole Underground and Feeling A Little Horse, through the increasingly twee-inflected, BMX Bandits-style cutesy of Perpetual Fun and Teenage Wulver, and finally arriving at The Pastels-driven incessance of Blast Off! and Those Bands We Like, I Wanna Be Truck A Truck Driver is the sound of a band that is likely to be passionately received by a cult following in twenty years' time.

In the interim period before those that are in the know can continue to love them with a passion.
