Stomp Talk Modstone – Only Illusion

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 3 Comments

What a fantastic romp the new single from Japanese band Stomp Talk Modstone is as it bounds around with unabashed abandon through alt rock and shoegazing territory. It’s the sound of the band at their catchiest and you could also say, despite the frenzied guitars, their poppiest. The female voice is a delight as the … Continue reading →

The Churchhill Gardens – Birds

Andy Jossi (music) and Krissy Vanderwoude (words/voice) combine once more on new single Birds and to great effect, it has to be said. The words should affect the emotions of the listener whilst Jossi’s musical and artistic sensitivity provides the suitable accompaniment. Combined With Vanderwoude’s ethereal voice it results in a haunting and beautiful song … Continue reading →

Flowerbed/Heavytrip – Split

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

Texas based Flowerbed are back with two new tracks on a release they share with labelmate’s Heavytrip. The first of the two new songs Pyrite is a dose of shimmering and poppy dreampop. The band’s sound gets slightly heavier at first on Selenite but it soon settles down and glides along somewhat majestically. My only … Continue reading →
