New music highly recommended by The Popscener.
Today's hotshots: Gecko
Not necessarily the usual fare The Popscener vibes, but two beautifully sunny days to start this week mean that Bristolian duo Gecko have my stolen my affections with their acoustico-pop and bonhomic cheer. However, that's not to damn them with the faintest praise; they certainly know their way around a melody and are refreshingly neither surf, shoegaze or folk - perhaps making them unique amongst their current peers.
In short: Mariachi El Bronx + Jamie T + Summer boozing = Gecko

Try: Guanabana Juice (live) below, but there are far better tracks (What You Gonna Do?) on the myspace.
