Dark Atmospheric shoegaze dripping in reverb and emotion. The whole EP Sad Girl Breakfast is spectacular. This track puts me in mind of Take Me Somewhere Nice by Mogwai or In This Light and on This Evening from Editors. Multi-layered electronic haze that really needs to be heard late night at a festival, this track... Continue Reading →
The Wounded Bird // French For Rabbits
Aside from having one of the best band names I have heard in a while, this track is intensely haunting. There's something really comforting about its morose tone though. Like the last day on holiday, you're sad to go home but happy to have had the experience. If any of you can remember them, it... Continue Reading →
Rats // The Twilight Sad
Shrouded in darkness and oppressively bleak, it's magnificent. Musically, it has twinges of Aphex Twin or Massive Attack, the darker side of EDM. Lyrically thinking Glasvegas? Let me know what you think, tell me I'm wrong or if you agree! Check us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Soundcloud etc etc etc you know the drill. https://open.spotify.com/track/17NCFnePb3mvBRyNNupk1E?si=Qz6m1UAuSvK_JuzfT65wcg
Apple // Oh Joy
I don't like spiders. This release is amazing though. Yes, it's slightly older than most (2017) so it's not quite cutting edge but I really love this slow burner. Oh Joy are Editors in a parallel universe where they didn't get terrible and developed into something that you could listen to without wanting to cancel... Continue Reading →
Disarray // Preoccupations
So, continuing the 80s theme that started yesterday, meet 'Preoccupations'. The reverb laden track could be from an 80s action movie, played over a montage. I think the reverb is essential for this, the whole dark aesthetic really works and is really reminiscent of 'JAWS' (the band not the shark, or the film as the... Continue Reading →
Twilight // Goat Mumbles
Falsetto vocals, digital organ and keys, a moody backdrop music. If Perfume Genius and Wild Beasts ever did a crossover track (unlikely I know) this is what it would sound like. Comparisons aside, this is a great track to laze to and just mull over. https://open.spotify.com/track/2IuhCr47IFswwSwzKP47i6?si=Y9FnlkVDSLyMGaTBsHau9Q
