Big Summer – Drones

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

The music of Porto’s Big Summer has not appealed to me previously but I have to say the new single Drones is very impressive. The title suggested a kosmische undercurrent to the song and that holds true as the band sound, on this one at least, like a Portuguese version of Big Les Byrd. It’s … Continue reading →

Sonic Dhoom is the first new material we have heard from Melbourne’s The Black Heart Death Cult since their debut album early last year. It’s fine piece of Asian inspired psychedelic done featuring some wonderful sitar work. I am pretty sure it’s a nod to Pete Kember. Flip side It’s Getting Heavy flirts with religion, … Continue reading →

VIM – Waiting EP

I have been Waiting er looking forward to this EP since the title track dropped last December. The first four tracks here are excellent examples of shimmering and ethereal dream pop.
