Corolla – Psychic Girlfriend

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

There is more of a 1960s vibe on the new single from Chicago’s Corolla compared to the 1980s sound found on the previous single Forget This Song. There are plenty of hooks and vibes throughout both tracks here and I am thinking it’s a bit like The Smithereens meets The Shins. There is more of … Continue reading →

Here’s The Thing…………………..

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 2 Comments

There was a raft of releases towards the end of last week. So much so that I thought another Bandcamp Friday was upon us judging by the number of emails in my inbox. So rather than write a post for each (I did say I wasn’t going to review anymore didn’t I haha) I thought … Continue reading →

The Sunday Session

The sun has gone in and it’s p*ssing it down in London Town. Time to get stuck into more tunes resting on top of my digital back pile. Fowl Science hail from Toronto and, judging by the lack of anything else listed, The Flowering Eye is their debut release. The song is a catchy mix … Continue reading →

Dummy, the band led by ex Wildhoney member Joe Trainor, have released their self titled debut EP. It’s a great blend of styles featuring noise pop, shoegaze, fuzzy guitars, drone and ambient not to mention some psychedelic pop. Lead track Angel’s Gear has that in abundance, wowing me back in January and I have been waiting … Continue reading →

Lebend – Chasing Ghosts

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 1 Comment

Lebend’s sound gets more expansive, vast with each release. On the new single Chasing Ghosts space rock fuses with shoegaze. The vocals, whilst prominent, become secondary to my attention as both guitars and synths produce reflections in sound at various points of the song. The former certainly adds hypnotic bursts throughout. Intriguing! Facebook

The Black Heart Death Cult – Sonic Dhoom

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

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 →

Forgiving is the first single to be lifted from said album … Continue reading →
