Something For The Weekend? Three Shozegazers
This weeks pack of three come via from three artists who tag themselves, amongst others, as Shoegaze on bandcamp. Glaze – Wasted Mind EP This EP is nearer post rock than shoegaze thanks to the guitar driven melancholic but melodic tracks contained within. Slow building layers of noise are punctured by sparse vocals that sometimes struggle to be heard behind the sonic wall. The livelier Mercury is the pick of the bunch for me. It’s not my usual fare but it caught my attention. It may get yours too. Get is free/pay what you want from bandcamp. Facebook DAODA – … Continue reading Something For The Weekend? Three Shozegazers
Not The One – A Records I Like Playlist (June 2017 #2)
I think I may have solved the problem of embedded playlists (wordpress.com does not support iframe) but with two steps instead of one. A tip on the wordpress.com support boards got me thinking about having a clickable image which brings up a pop-up player. So there you have it and this is a good post as any to try it out so without further ado here is a mix featuring of tracks previously mentioned or soon to be mentioned on this site. It covers a mix of indiepop, post-punk, shoegaze, garage and jangle pop. Enjoy! Alternatively head over to our … Continue reading Not The One – A Records I Like Playlist (June 2017 #2)
Something For The Weekend? Three New Indiepop Releases
This week’s pack of three features three recent melodic indiepop releases. The Golden Rail – Oh My! The Golden Rail are a new band but there is pedigree in their ranks as band members have been involved with the likes of The Palisades and The Rainyard amongst others. Oh My! is the first single to be taken from the forthcoming album Electric Trails From Nowhere. And what a catchy single it is too, ticking all the right boxes along the way. Jangling indiepop at it’s finest. Available in CD and digital formats from here. Facebook Tomiji – Tomiji EP Tomiji … Continue reading Something For The Weekend? Three New Indiepop Releases
Sheer – Psychic Quarry EP
I have been culling my bandcamp links left, right and centre these past few days and came across this one I bookmarked a couple of months ago. The reason for this is clear as the opening track on this EP Room is one of the catchier rock tracks I have heard for a while thanks to the vocals and guitars packed full of reverb. The rest of the EP continues in a similar vein mixing melodic indie-rock with hints of dreampop and shoegaze and it’s on the faster tracks (Shut It Off) where they are most effective. It’s good stuff … Continue reading Sheer – Psychic Quarry EP
Something For The Weekend? Three from Shelflife.
This week’s pack of three focuses on three current & imminent releases from Shelflife Records. Love Dance – All The Time I haven’t heard anything from Love Dance in an age and then I heard this and I thought it was a completely different band. Long gone is the jangling indie pop which is now replaced by pulsating synth pop beats. Hell it even sounds like Bizarre Love Triangle towards the end. Excellent. Available digitally from here. Facebook Homepage The Luxembourg Signal – Laura Palmer More shimmering dreampop loveliness from The Luxembourg Signal who deliver the goods once more. Musically … Continue reading Something For The Weekend? Three from Shelflife.
Fawns Of Love – Who Cares About Tomorrow
Given that one of their previous musical guises was called Peppermint Kisses it’s not too much of a surprise comparisons made with the Cocteau Twins on The Fawns Of Love debut LP Who Cares About Tomorrow especially given the vocals of Jenny Andreotti. Mind you she credits Sparks, who the band are massive fans of, for her vocal style rather than Elizabeth Fraser. Over the course of the album I also hear hints of New Order (check those Peter Hook style bass rifts), My Bloody Valentine and, in the case of the percussion, Psychocandy era Jesus and Mary Chain. To … Continue reading Fawns Of Love – Who Cares About Tomorrow
Mixing It Up………….
A mid-April mix for your listening pleasure. Click here to take you to a Playmoss playlist featuring these and other tracks. The Death Of Pop – Busy With The Boys A track that takes a few listens to get into. Not sure what that annoying dib-be-do (sic) sample is doing in there either but it all comes good in the end! Facebook Youthmemory – City Flipside of their new single Neo Tokyo. Japan’s Youthmemory “go” all Radio Dept. and dancey shoegaze on us to great effect. Superb. Did I mention it was superb? Homepage Sea Pinks – Into Nowhere A … Continue reading Mixing It Up………….
Herlights – Le Passé
Not sure what has put the spring in Herlights steps but there is plenty of vibrancy on the three tracks that comprise Le Passé. Like the previous release, the vocals are hushed, some barely making it past a whisper but the driving synths and guitars lead these excellent dream pop tracks home. Le Passé could well be your soundtrack on your journey along the road to the stars. Yours for a mere dollar from Bandcamp. Facebook Continue reading Herlights – Le Passé
