NOW PLAYING! Sparkling Debut EP ‘SOMETHING IN THE WATER’ by London Outfit ‘DEEP DEEP WATER’…

Posted on by JL

5 October 2019

Band: Deep Deep Water

Who: “A blissfully atmospheric London-based four-piece focusing on the depth and
haunting unknown of what lies beneath. Beneath ourselves, our friendships and society
as a whole. It’s an experiment in exploration of self and our surroundings. And like the
ocean the band use their brand of dub-inflected pop in a way that is both beautiful in its elegance and foreboding in its intensity.”

EP: A 4-track one called ‘Something In The Water‘

Sound: Sparkling mix of electro-pop affectivity with multi-layered and changing moods. From ambient wistfulness to vibrant tonality, coloured with wonderful vocals, subtle harmonies, glimmering guitars and scintillating synths sonancy. So much going on here,
so much to discover. Striking debut indeed!

NOW PLAYING! The Long Awaited New CHROMATICS Album Is Out Now – Here’s ‘CLOSER TO GREY’…

Posted on by JL

2 October 2019

Portland‘s electro collective CHROMATICS announced their new album to be released already at the end of 2014 but so far, until last night, no new longplayer. But, suddenly,
a few weeks ago the band shared a cover of the late folk singer-songwriter Jackson C. Frank’s song ‘I WANT TO BE ALONE (DIALOGUE)’ and confirmed to play the Pitchfork Music Festival in Paris on 1 November.

And now, suddenly out of the blue here’s, finally, the brand new Chromatics‘ LP, titled CLOSER TO GREY (after a track issued several years ago) instead of the early chosen title ‘Dear Tommy‘. The record contains covers of Simon and Garfunkel and The Jesus & Mary Chain translated into the band’s dreamy textures. After just one spin the feeling is that there’s so much to experience. Let’s just do this together right here…

NOW PLAYING – New Album By Italian Psych Shoegazers REV REV REV – Here’s ‘KYKEON’…

Posted on by JL

25 September 2019

Band: REV REV REV

Who: “Since the release of their self-titled debut album back in 2013, Rev Rev Rev – based in Modena, Italy – have repeatedly been hailed as one of the finest new shoegaze bands. “

Album: KYKEON – released  20th September 2019

Sound: “A psychedelic drink made up of several ingredients, consumed during Eleusinian Mysteries, a set of rites, ceremonies and experiences held in the ancient Greece. Rev Rev Rev’s Kykeon is murky, ritualistic drone-rock including trance-like drumming, fuzzy reverberated guitars, tons of feedback and abrasive atonal sounds. But also Loveless-esque shoegaze sound with Laura Iacuzio’s shadowy, ethereal vocals emerging through all-consuming walls-of-noise.”
