Tom

Happy new year one and all. If the best of 2019 mixes (part one – part two) were not enough for you then get stuck into the first mix of 2020 featuring tracks released in the past month or so. As ever, enjoy! And goodbye to Brunch Club. Thanks for the tunes. Full Tracklisting: Sugar World – We Fell In Love …..there is no fuzziness here and instead we are treated to a bittersweet twee-pop song. The Sensitive – World Is Evil The new single out now on Let’s Kiss A Secret Sicayda – It Changed I can see why … Continue reading Records I Like Mix January 2020

HoneyHead – A Kind Of Isolation

Tom

Russian band HoneyHead have released their new EP entitled A Kind Of Isolation which fuses indie-rock and shoegaze. The songs are enhanced by noise but are tuneful none the less and the singer/guitarist refuses to let her voice be overawed by the guitars. Of the three tracks here it’s the new version of 2017’s Rollercoaster that shines with the polish giving the guitar extra intensify and making the vocals even more attractive than they already were. A fine alt-rock EP. Facebook Continue reading HoneyHead – A Kind Of Isolation

Intermere – Reflection

Tom

Intermere is the project of Andrew Craig from Dreams of Empire and they describe their music as “immersive slowdown shoegaze”. I quite like the sound of the guitars on this one. They make for a slow deep sound and whilst listening, you get more than a hint of psychedelia running through the song. The accompanying female vocals work well giving the song a great big handful of blissfulness. Definitely one for a late-night listen. Instagram Continue reading Intermere – Reflection

Citrus Clouds – A Pastel Sky

Tom

Phoenix based dreampop/shoegaze band Citrus Clouds have announced a forthcoming second album titled Collider which is provisionally due for release in April next year. They have lifted the first single from the album in the shape of A Pastel Sky which is about the sunset in their native Arizona. You can almost see the colours form as the guitars shimmer whilst the band sing “I am floating, A million miles high” in said sky. Facebook Continue reading Citrus Clouds – A Pastel Sky

VIM – Waiting

Tom

Australian band VIM impressed greatly with 2017’s UKIYO EP and we have not heard from them since their appearance on the Songs For Stoph compilation album which was released early last year. On Waiting (an apt title!) the guitars guitars pick up the pace, shimmering as the female vocals stay in the background. The words are emphatic and will surely resonate with anyone who have found themselves in a similar situation. A welcome return…. Facebook Continue reading VIM – Waiting

Sicayda – It Changed

Tom

It Changed is the first in a series of single drops before the band release their next EP or album. It’s a track that was written a couple of years ago and despite not appearing on their debut EP the band write that it’s a “fan favorite” and they “finally feel it has reached its full potential as a song”. I can see why it ‘s a favourite as it’s a feisty track mixing post-punk and shoegaze to great effect whilst the energetic vocals give the song another dynamic. Rousing and pleasing!
