Waiting for You is a hazy and mesmerising shoegazing track that induces the listener thanks to its dreamy and ethereal sounds. If you close your eyes you can imagine floating along to this one. Given the build up I would have liked the track to have a lengthy fade out rather than the abrupt ending but I guess these ears cannot have everything! Waiting for You is taken from an as of yet untitled album but in the meantime you can grab it from here. Instagram ..read more

New York’s Sea Shapes are a new name on my listening horizon. It’s a one man project and the previous releases have been influenced heavily by post-punk and shoegaze. That said I Miss The Way is a catchy, dreamy affair ..read more

As we hurtle towards the end of another year, here are some releases gathered from the last four weeks or so. We have three from Chaotic Pop Records. This Indonesian label has fast come my favourite of this year and if they keep it up, next year too!

So a combination of COVID (yet again!) followed by a busy time at work has seen an enforced absence from these pages. So without much ado, let’s get stuck into the releases I need to catch up with. Here is the Playlist: or listen on YouTube Track list: Spunsugar – San Jose There is a little bit of Curve on San Jose, which is the latest single to be taken from the forthcoming album A Hole Forever. Shoegaze and electronica combine to great effect, and the joint vocals work pretty well too. Strangely it’s backed with two other tracks from the LP being It Never Gave Me Everything and Flaws. San ..read more

Sleepsong is the third track/single to be lifted from the band’s forthcoming self-titled EP. They head back to the days when music was being made that would soon influence what became known as Shoegaze. The song itself is very much in the style of the Cocteau Twins or, if you need a more recent example, similar to what Fawns Of Love have been doing these past couple of years. Swirling, haunting and ethereal. Not to mention that gorgeous voice. That’s all my boxes ticked then! Sleepsong is out now via Sonic Cathedral. The Deary EP is out on November 17 2023 and can be pre-ordered in a range of ..read more
