Aggi is one of my favorite indiepop bands of the past decade, and it's for two simple reasons:

First, they have moments of sounding exactly like Henry's Dress, which is a great decision in a world that sorely needs more Henry's Dress songs. (If you're unfamiliar with Henry's Dress; this is your lucky day. I've got more about them here And unlike most bands who can be boiled down to "they sound like [older band]", Aggi actually equals or even possibly surpasses Henry's Dress in quality! They're noisy, they're fast, and best of all, the singers harmonize, which is sorely lacking in most noise pop of this type.

Second of all, their discography is short. It's ten songs in eighteen minutes; eight of which don't even cross the two-minute mark. As anyone who loves a one-album band knows, the fact that there's nothing else to hear afterwards just leaves you wanting to hear the music you do have even more. Especially when it's this short, it's just so easy to go back to the start of the album and listen again.
