I'll leave you off on this fine Friday afternoon with Porcelain Raft, the solo project of the Italian Mauro Remiddi, and his new album Strange Weekend  which came out January 24th of this year.  After releasing a few EPs and gaining some buzz through some hit singles, I was finally able to give the album a listen last week.  Although it's still early on in the year, Strange Weekend  has been one of my favorite releases to come out in 2012.  It may not be breaking boundaries in its composition, but it has been a dream pop delight ...

Like Grunge, Shoegaze has become synonymous with one band. When mentioning the genre it is almost impossible to not reference My Bloody Valentine. The Saints">All The Saints take much influence from them in their album Intro to Fractions . It is from the heavier side of MBV’s output that The Saints">All The Saints are interested in, rather than the dream-like wooziness that the band conjured in conjunction with their grinding distortions. Intro to Fractions sits at the point where Grunge and Shoegaze meet and it is also interesting to note that this is a three-piece band, something not ...

Rifiutarsi di andare a dormire soltanto per poter perdere ancora un po' di tempo solo per noi, restare qui a sentire le testa che a poco a poco abbandona l'equilibrio, il cuore che sembra di carta e il silenzio imperfetto, logorato, della casa di notte. E domattina, tra poche ore, quando all'alba la sveglia suonerà, negli gli occhi che bruciano dietro le palpebre, ritroverai esattamente questo suono. Gli Young Prisms (quintetto shoegaze di San Francisco) tornano con il secondo album In Between , e almeno a giudicare da questa prima anticipazione, Floating Blue , stanno riuscendo a trasformare la loro ...

You're gonna think one of two things here... either A) I'm some crabby old curmudgeon who don't like anything or B) the undercard of this year's lineup sucks. I'd vote for the latter, because as you all know, I am full of nothing but love. Most of the time... But I got no love for this gal EMA , a chick who may have listened to a little bit too much Kate Bush and My Bloody Valentine in her day because her music sounds like a bit of a cross between those two. If that combo ...

San Francisco space rockers Wooden Shjips are sailing forth into the wild and zany waters of Remixland on February 21 with the powerful winds of Thrill Jockey blowing their latest release into record stores and online shops near and far. The aptly named Remixes 12-inch is the Niña to the band’s Pinta, last year’s critically-acclaimed full-length West LP ( TMT Review ) …or maybe it’s the Santa Maria. Whatever. What a stupid metaphor. Why am I talking about Christopher Columbus? That guy was a jerk. Anyway, forget that dude: Wooden Shjips are awesome. If West wasn’t enough for ...

Tras este singular nombre, basado en una canción de Redhead">Blonde Redhead, nos encontramos a una banda de Los Angeles cuyo sonido se encuentra a medio camino entre el shoegaze y el indie-pop, resultando algo así como una mezcla entre The Radio Dept, M83 y My Bloody Valentine. Tras un primer Ep publicado en el año 2009, el pasado verano editaban otro Ep llamado Paper Crush, en el que se incluye el tema Teenage Tide.

Trash Tracys">Trailer Trash Tracys - 'Ester' (UK Release: 9 Jan '12) // Words: Simon Opie London four piece Trash Tracys">Trailer Trash Tracys certainly have a terrific name, obviously not bothered whether the plural of Tracy is technically Tracies, and determined to do things their way. They have built a solid following, supported both The Horrors and The xx and I wouldn’t bet against them outlasting both. Their debut album 'Ester' comes out on Domino, one of the most enlightened labels of the last two decades. 'Ester' starts with a psychedelic flashback - 'Rolling – Kiss The Universe' – worthy of Japanese supergroup ...

Kendi imkânları ile yayınladıkları ilk EP’leri ile alternatif müzik çevrelerinde dikkatleri üzerine çeken The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, esas debüt albümlerini 2009 senesinde Slumber Records üzerinden yayınladı. Uzun isimlerini grubun solisti Kip’in yakın bir arkadaşının yazdığı yayınlanmamış bir öyküsünden alan grup, ilk albümleriyle Billboard albüm listesinde 6 numaraya kadar yükselmeyi başardı. İkinci stüdyo albümleri “Belong” u ise 2011 senesi içinde yayınladılar. Grubun müziği içerisinde shoegaze ve dreampop öğelerini fazlaca barındırıyor. NME dergisi tarafından saf indie-pop olarak nitelendirilen, NYTimes tarafından müziklerinin melodik dokusu ve yumuşaklığı öne çıkartılan grup gerçekten de günümüz jenerasyonun o coşkusunu ve masumiyetini içinde ...

I am a big fan of both Spacemen 3 and Loop, and I see them totally differently. Loop's music is very minimalist music with complex layers. It is still very hard sounding with metronomic drums and fuzzy guitars. The Loop can be summed up by Soundhead thumping drums that sound like canons. Wah saturated in reverb that is so raw your ears feel like they are going to bleed. Very hypnotic and dark. While the work of other late 80s noise terrorists My Bloody Valentine and Spacemen 3 are celebrated. Loop has been forgotten. Even when the out-of-print albums ...

Now that those New Year's hangovers (and subsequent existential chills and sniffles) are starting to heal, it’s time to turn 2012 from a potential Mayan catastrophe into a jubilant musical carnival. To that end, SPIN’s editors have chosen 25 highly anticipated albums that should keep your heart full and the specter of the Long Count calendar at bay. Enjoy! Snow Patrol , Fallen Empires  (Island) Release date: Jan. 10 Ideally suited, it would seem, to release records during the wintry months, Snow Patrol return touting their sixth studio album as a break from form — or at least a ...

By all means, Deardarkhead should be a band that I enjoy. I’m a fan of most of the shoegaze stuff that was happening in the late 80s and early 90s, and I’m a huge fan of the recent releases from Brooklyn, NY based label Captured Tracks, so I should love this recent entry in their shoegaze reissue season. When it comes down to it, Deardarkhead seems like just the sort of band that would have been forgotten by the ages, and this reissue just brings their middling reverby rock songs back to the forefront of the musical consciousness ...
