For a couple of decades now, the British band Comet Gain has been cranking out sweet, starry-eyed, stylish indie pop, dressing like mods and nodding to the sweeter and more homespun bands of the initial late-’70s postpunk explosion. They’ve got a new album called Paperback Ghosts coming next month, and we’ve already heard the early single “Long After Tonite’s Candles Are Blown.” Today, they’ve shared another one, the pretty, jaunty, string-assisted “Sad Love And Other Short Stories.” Give it a listen below.

Paperback Ghosts is out 7/7 via Fortuna Pop.
