There is a lot of hazy, atmospheric dreampop from female fronted bands at the moment. Let’s add another one to that growing list in the shape of Philadelphia’s Midnight Flowers who comprise of in-laws Tatiana and Charles. That’s Life swirls … Continue reading Midnight Flowers – That’s Life
I must admit to letting English Summer fall from my sight after the abandonment of their Wedding project. But after catching the cover art for their new single Tall Stories I gave it a listen. And am I glad that … Continue reading English Summer – Tall Stories
Wow. Here is a surprise. A new single from Parisian indiepoppers Pale Spectres who I last heard via 2017’s self titled EP . It’s a re-recording of a track that appeared on a self released CDR titled the April 2014 … Continue reading Pale Spectres – Supermarket Love
This Time, the new single from Swedish band Makthaverskan, is an expansive and far flung song complete with swirling guitars, pounding drum machines and synths that shine. The vocals of Maja Milner are strong as ever, sounding dark in places. … Continue reading Makthaverskan – This Time

Norwegians Permafrost were originally formed back in 1982 by Frode Heggdal Larsen and Kåre Steinsbun, releasing their debut Godtment EP in 1983. The band did not release anything else until 2019’s self titled EP after they were joined by Robert Heggdal, Trond Tornes and Daryl Bamonte.

Despite the classic sound on their singles this year the band are adventurous enough to seek remixers for their works and Restore Us features mixes from MAPS and Paul Corkett. The former adds some lovely … Continue reading Permafrost – Restore Us

The new single from Finnish four piece The Here Todays is one of the nosiest shoegaze songs I have heard for a while. I mean Takotsubo would even give My Bloody Valentine a run for their money. Despite the high … Continue reading The Here Todays – Takotsubo
