Somewhere between the DIY pop of the 1980s to today (Marine Girls, Sarah Records, The Gentle Waves) and Swedish indie pop of the late 2000s (Sambassadeur, Alpaca Sports), the Stuttgart-based, female-led band collective The Simple Present can be quite comfortably placed. Cathrin (vocals, guitar) and Sabine (backing vocals, keyboard) started out as a lo-fi living room project, initially without any intention of making the results accessible beyond their circle of friends. In 2024, however, a demo recording of “I’ll Take That With Me” ended up in the hands of Ronny Pinkau (Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten), who enthusiastically exclaimed: “Let’s make a record immediately!!!”

Even before releasing a single track, the band attracted the attention of various concert promoters after their first performance in late 2024. This led, among other things, to an invitation to Cologne Popfest in April 2025.

For Cologne Popfest, the band released a strictly limited lathe-cut 7″ single featuring exclusive pre-release versions of two songs, which sold out within minutes and received very positive feedback from international indie blogs and online radio shows. This, in turn, caught the attention of the established indie pop label Shelflife Records, ultimately leading to a joint international release of their wonderful debut mini-album “Early Days” on 23 May 2026.

This idea started because The Autocollants have always wished they could have been on a split single with The Cat’s Miaow back in the day (when they were label-mates on Quiddity/Drive-In Records), but that never came to be. So now in 2026, the bands finally made the split single dream come true! The Autocollants present two new recordings — their first since 1999 and The Cat’s Miaow contribute two brand new tracks that were originally written back in the early ’90s.
