Hailing from Lille, Maybe Margate is a duo formed in late 2019 by Olivia and Ivan, two long-time friends who share a love for English culture and melodic pop music.
Since they first started writing songs together, they have released their debut album "First Crack" and a handful of singles. Now, we're delighted to welcome them on Too Good To Be True for their second album, which will be out in early Spring 2025. We can't wait to share with you the wonderful pop songs that feature on it.

This is not a Too Good To Be True release per se, but, as we're fulfilling the European Union orders for our friends at Skep Wax Records, it has fully its place among our announcements for 2025.

On the 17th of January, "Looking Back at the World", the much anticipated debut album by The Gentle Spring will be released. The band will play several dates in England and Scotland in January and February. Don't miss them.

"Looking Back at the World" can already be preordered (on limited edition vinyl, CD, and digital): https://toogoodtobetruerecords.bandcamp.com/album/looking-back-at-the-world

When we did the 2022/23 Singles Club, we felt uncomfortable with having to set such a high price for a two-track vinyl and for postage rates almost as expensive as the record itself (and rest assured that the prices and the shipping fees were set as low as we possibly could). As we don't want to release only albums and we want to keep the label's records affordable, we thought about different solutions and it turned out that the 3" CD, which can hold up to 20 minutes of music and can be shipped at the lowest postage rate the French postal service offers, met most of our criteria.

Thus, it's on this quite unusual format our forthcoming series of EPs will be released on. We'll launch the series in January 2025, with a new EP each month until December. It's a bit too early to unveil the names of the bands taking part in it. All we can say is that there will be new bands and bands you surely already know.

Unlike the 2022/23 Singles Club, there won't be a subscription option with extras, but we'll try to reward the people who purchase all the records in the series in a way or another.

25/11/2024

One of the first 2025 releases on Too Good To Be True will be the reissue of Les Freluquets' seminal debut album, "La débauche", which was originally released on French label Rosebud in 1990.
It was first intended for a release a couple of weeks before the band's September 2024 reunion gig at the Paris Popfest, but having the thirty-something year old tracks remastered proved to be a harder and longer task than expected. Anyway, the wait is almost over and you'll soon be able to discover or rediscover "La débauche" in a pristine-sounding remastered version (with exclusive bonus tracks).

More details about the reissue soon. In the meantime, you can catch Les Freluquets (1987-92) live (their third concert since the reunion) on the 29th of November at Le Truskel in Paris (opening for Paul Felix, the former singer of Gamine).

From the outside, 2024 may be seen as a quiet year for Too Good To Be True with merely three releases. From the inside, things have been felt quite differently with a lot of work on forthcoming releases (some of them were scheduled for a 2024 release, but have finally been postponed for various reasons).

After too many months of reduced activity, it's time to put things back in motion and the best way to do it is probably to tell you a bit more about some of our forthcoming 2025 releases. Next week, we'll make several announcements about what is coming soon on Too Good To Be True.
Be sure to check our posts here, on our Instagram page, or on our brand new Bluesky account (.bsky.social). See you next week!

Here is the video for "Sugartown", the opening track of The Gentle Spring's forthcoming debut album "Looking Back at the World", which will be released on Skep Wax Records on the 17th of January.

We'll have a limited stock of the album (vinyl and CD) that will be available on the Too Good To Be True Bandcamp page for orders within the European Union, so you can save on shipping and taxes. We'll also have bundles that include The Gentle Spring's debut 7" single, which was released on Too Good To Be True in 2023.

Preorders are now open: https://toogoodtobetruerecords.bandcamp.com/album/looking-back-at-the-world

As Would-Be-Goods can't make it due to COVID, The Gentle Spring will fill in for them on Friday at Paris Popfest (on the same day as Chime School, Les Freluquets and The Orchids).

If you're going to the Paris Popfest and want some Too Good To Be True records, let us know and we'll bring them to you.

❗️The Would-be-goods doivent malheureusement annuler leur venue au Popfest pour cause de Covid ❗On en est désolés, et on leur donne rendez-vous l'année prochaine.

Ils seront remplacés vendredi par The Gentle Spring 🐧

The Gentle Spring est le nouveau groupe de Michael Hiscock (The Field Mice) et d’Émilie Guillaumot. Leur premier single « Dodge the Rain » est sorti au printemps 2023 sur le label breton Too Good To Be True Records, et l’une de leurs chansons figure sur la compilation hommage à Sarah « Under the Bridge 2 » (Skep Wax). Un premier album est annoncé pour bientôt. Ils seront accompagnés par l’indispensable Jérémie Orsel (Dorian Pimpernel, School Daze).
