Battery Point – Desire

Tom

Battery Point have been consistently delivering some great tunes for the past few years and Desire keeps that run of success going. It contains all the ingredients that have made have the band stand out and Desire errs between the lines of indiepop and shoegaze with the joint vocalists sounding better than they have ever done. Desire remains in the consciousness long after it finishes, and I am sure this one will be in the 2019 best of lists despite the year only being two months in!

February Round Up #2

Tom

And the round up is on day two…. Patrick Farrugia – Too Late Patrick Farrugia has been releasing music for a few years now and the two tracks on Too Late is the first I have heard from him. Both tracks are 1980s-inspired or in the case of Oblivion 100% inspired by New Order’s Age of Consent such are the similarities between the two. Not bad then! Sadly less said about Olympiad the better. I am left wondering if it’s actually by the same person. Very MOR. Just grab the first track.

February Round Up #1

Tom

Before I have had even time to blink I have racked almost a century of emails in my bandcamp folder. Time to wade through some of those tracks that are piling up! Leathers – Phantom Heart Leathers is the project of Shannon Hemmett who is also a member of Canadian post-punk band Actors. Phantom Heart mixes synth pop and dark wave to great effect. Facebook Sheer – Glimpse Glimpse is the first track in almost two years from Californians Sheer. It’s worth the wait as Glimpse is a laid back alt-rock track with lovely female vocals which betray the melancholic … Continue reading February Round Up #1

Fog – Shine / DreamingDreamingDreaming

Tom

Dream-poppers Fog are a new band out of Seoul, South Korea. I enjoyed last year’s demo album The Harder We Push, The Faster We’ll All Get Outta Here and the band have now followed it up with the two tracks here. Shine sounds like a demo version of the classic Chapterhouse track Pearl whilst DreamingDreamingDreaming is a poppier effort with chiming guitars that outreach the sometimes impassive vocals. Not bad! Facebook Continue reading Fog – Shine / DreamingDreamingDreaming
