Continuing the series of posting albums and/or EPs as and when they are released (or usually a bit after!) as a follow up to the initial new tracks/singles posts posted on this blog. Sample the release via the You Tube track then dive in to the full release.

Spool – (Image For) Drawing on Canvas

“(Image For) Drawing on Canvas is the title track of the forthcoming third album from the Tokyo based dreampop band. Ethereal and soaring especially the vocals of singer/guitarist Ayumi Kobayashi which sound like a graceful bird in flight.”

The album can be purchased from here.

Life On Venus – Homewards

(Stranger Times) “The new single from the Moscow based dreampop/shoegazing band Life On Venus features quite an apt title and you can interpret the lyrics in many ways. Repetitive words over swirling guitars and accompanying percussion makes the song a pretty effective one.”

Homewards is out now on Stereopark Music.

Fine. – Love, Death, Dreams, and The Sleep Between

“Breathe Out is taken from the forthcoming album from the Boston based duo, comprising of Liam James Marsh and Alice Kat, Fine. It’s an upbeat track but lyrically errs on the dejected and unhappy side. Musically it’s lo-fi twee inspired indiepop with the joint vocals working well. It’s a good pointer for that new album.”

Love, Death, Dreams, and The Sleep Between is out now on Subjangle.
