Something For The Weekend? – Shozegazers in the Mix

Tom

This weeks pack of three features three Shoegazing artists who don’t mind the art of remix. All Sparks Burn Out – Seconds Like Days Seconds Like Days is the second single to be lifted from the forthcoming debut album Shapes In The Shadows by Australian band All Sparks Burn Out. Seconds Like Days is a short but blissful effort. However it’s the additional tracks that are worth picking up. Magenta Low (Waving At Earth Mix) ventures into Seefeel territory whilst Sunspots (Scorched Satellite Mix) gets put through a blender and comes out sounding like something on Warp circa 1990’s. Most excellent. Facebook Lost … Continue reading Something For The Weekend? – Shozegazers in the Mix

Battery Point – A Memory For Today

Tom

Sarah Records revivalists Battery Point deliver another fine EP that in part pays homage to the aforementioned label. Another Year and Time are on the melodic side of dreampop/shoegaze rather than the harsh version practised by Secret Shine – see they are not paying that much homage! That does come however with their cover of Another Sunny Day’s You Should All Be Murdered which covers this classic track with a layer of jangling guitars but sadly fails to create the beauty of the original. It’s not a bad effort mind! Facebook Continue reading Battery Point – A Memory For Today

Herlights – Changes

Tom

More music from Russia for you today. Changes is the new single from Herlights. It features three dream-pop tracks complete with the band’s trademark sullen vocals which give a strong atmospheric feel to the songs none more so than on Wasted Youth. I was a bit disappointed by some of the new songs on the previous effort Happiness is now but Changes is an excellent return to form. Get it from here. Continue reading Herlights – Changes
