Tom

London based promoter and label Damnably are promoting an excellent gig featuring their artists at London’s Scala on Thursday 19th April. I am there with bells on. This weeks pack of three features a track from each band playing. Otoboke Beaver – anata watashi daita ato yome no meshi Japan’s Otoboke Beaver are headlining and anata watashi daita ato yome no meshi is their latest single (Feb 18).

Aurora Lights – A Records I Like Playlist (March 2018 #2)

Tom

There has been plenty of good “tuneage” this month. Certainly enough to warrant a second playmoss mix for your listening pleasure. There are a number I have written about previously but there are also a number I have yet to mention so give those a listen as a bare minimum. These include tracks by The Angel Makers, Seeing Hands, The Catherines, Lasitud and Klass II amongst others. As ever click on the image to start. Enjoy! More playlists can be found here and the Playmoss page is here. Continue reading Aurora Lights – A Records I Like Playlist (March 2018 #2)

Night Flowers – Hey Love

Tom

Hey Love is the third single to be lifted from the forthcoming album Wild Notion. It has 1960’s girl band vocals blended with alt rock guitars and if The Concretes were shoegaze orientated they may have well sounded like this. The two b-sides are not bad either. The previously unreleased You Don’t Tell Me sounds like a Twisterella outtake whilst the band’s cover of Jane Wiedlin’s Rush Hour sounds as poppy as the original. Hey Love was available as a limited edition cassette but it’s now sold out but you can still get it digitally from here. Facebook Continue reading Night Flowers – Hey Love

Astro Children – Beneath the Visible Surface

Tom

Astro Children’s last single Straight For My Heart was impressive enough but they manage to go one better on this single. The title track is, thanks to the synths, dreamy and hypnotic whilst flip side Nora Flood hitches a lift with a slow burning shoegazing wagon. Both sides are guaranteed to get your head nodding in appreciation. It’s due to be released on 7″ vinyl but in the meantime you can get it digitally from here.

Seven Tin Stars – Doppelgänger

Tom

Doppelgänger features two new tracks that have been added to the 2nd edition of the Return to the White Tide EP which is now available for pre-order from Emma’s House Records. If, like me, you have the original version you can pick these two tracks up for nowt from the band’s own page but given how glorious Combine is I suggest you chuck in a couple of nicker.

Something For The Weekend? – Shozegazers in the Mix

Tom

This weeks pack of three features three Shoegazing artists who don’t mind the art of remix. All Sparks Burn Out – Seconds Like Days Seconds Like Days is the second single to be lifted from the forthcoming debut album Shapes In The Shadows by Australian band All Sparks Burn Out. Seconds Like Days is a short but blissful effort. However it’s the additional tracks that are worth picking up. Magenta Low (Waving At Earth Mix) ventures into Seefeel territory whilst Sunspots (Scorched Satellite Mix) gets put through a blender and comes out sounding like something on Warp circa 1990’s. Most excellent. Facebook Lost … Continue reading Something For The Weekend? – Shozegazers in the Mix

Battery Point – A Memory For Today

Tom

Sarah Records revivalists Battery Point deliver another fine EP that in part pays homage to the aforementioned label. Another Year and Time are on the melodic side of dreampop/shoegaze rather than the harsh version practised by Secret Shine – see they are not paying that much homage! That does come however with their cover of Another Sunny Day’s You Should All Be Murdered which covers this classic track with a layer of jangling guitars but sadly fails to create the beauty of the original. It’s not a bad effort mind! Facebook Continue reading Battery Point – A Memory For Today
