New Dreamy Video From Wild Arrows

If you’ve been reading this website for any length of time, you should know that we here at ATH have a strong affinity for all things dream pop/shoegaze related. Wild Arrows, out of New York, are making an especially lush brand of shoegaze that will make you swoon. I’ve posted about these folks in the past, but now it’s time to spread the word once again. They’ve just released a new video for the track, “Dreamlike Dream,” and it’s a five and a half minutes of hazy rock. Trance-inducing, the track begs you to listen to the rest of the band’s new release by the same title. You can check out the whole thing on their Bandcamp page.

 

 

Fresh Synthpop From Wild Arrows

Wild Arrows, out of Brooklyn, will be releasing their new album, Dreamlike Dream, this Friday and they’ve just shared a track from that release to catch your ear. “Alphabet Girl” is a slow moving synth drenched rock beast, which pulsates heavy from start to finish. There’s a nice even beat to the jam that may induce head bobbing. Personally, I like the way the tender vocals really contrast with the harsher synth sounds.Check it out below.

New Indie Pop from Wild Arrows

Interestingly, Wild Arrows has a bit of a post-hardcore influence, but listening to this single from their new EP ,The Punks Don’t Know What Punk Is, has not trace of that style in there at all.  From the moment you get into the track, there’s nothing but playful pop lurking about.  and it’s the pop of the good kind.  It’s light-hearted with very little kitsch to it, so you can’t help other than to feel the effortless bounce from within.  With main musician Mike Law’s storied past in the business, it will be interesting to see where he goes with the rest of the EP.
