Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 1 Comment

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. The songs swirl like no tomorrow and closing ones eyes they present hazy, shady and mottled imagery. The female vocals are softened, calming and … Continue reading →

Dummy hail from Los Angeles and Angel’s Gear is their first track. And it’s not a bad one to start with as it blends 1960’s psychedelia and pop.

Boogie Board – Rippers Only

Fuzzy, trippy, spacey, droney and krautrock-y – okay I cannot think of any other terms to describe this music ending in y! There are four songs here resulting in a short but enjoyable romp. If Can were a 1960’s garage band they may have ended up sounding something like this. Facebook
