Keep On Mind is taken from the new single Melissa/Keep On Mind from the Japanese shoegaze band Stomp Talk Modstone with Eriko (Plant Cell, Baby Ever Rain) on vocals. It has that vintage, classic shoegaze sound with the ethereal female … Continue reading Stomp Talk Modstone – Keep On Mind

The new single from Japan’s Stomp Talk Modnstone sounds like it’s straight from a time capsule containing all the ingredients that made shoegaze so exciting the first time around. Fast-paced fuzzy guitars coupled with some wonderful joint vocals with the … Continue reading Stomp Talk Modstone – Supercar

Tonight Matthew we are going to be My Bloody Valentine said Stomp Talk Modstone never but, somewhere in an alternative reality, I am pretty sure it must have happened based on the evidence provided via their new single My Birth. Given the band has slowly established their own identity over the course of their excellent singles to date I am not sure there is any need to produce a track that is like for like MBV. Yes, it’s a great track but, at the end of the day, there is nothing new here and not just for me either I … Continue reading Stomp Talk Modstone – My Birth

What a fantastic romp the new single from Japanese band Stomp Talk Modstone is as it bounds around with unabashed abandon through alt rock and shoegazing territory. It’s the sound of the band at their catchiest and you could also … Continue reading Stomp Talk Modstone – Only Illusion
The new single from Japanese shoegazers Stomp Talk Modstone could well be one of the best shoegazing songs you are likely to hear this year. Shimmering guitars that occasionally explode sit side by side with barely audible vocals that try to pierce the cloudy haze. A song that will have a devastating, in a good way, impact on your ears. Six minutes of pure bliss. Facebook Continue reading Stomp Talk Modstone – Hurt
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 of shoegaze, alt-rock and post-punk. The synths give the song an emotive feel as does the repeated chorus of “they’re calling; they’re calling”. The Shop Window follow up their excellent previous single Mannequin Lies with new single Reflection. To be honest it does not grab … Continue reading The Sunday Session
