Solid Blood Shares Western Sun + Drops New EP

I had really hoped to get this new EP from Solid Blood up on Friday so you could spend your Bandcamp dollars in the right place, but alas, I got caught up in the State Fair with my kids, so I didn’t quite get to it. Needless to say, the Houston project just dropped the Western Sun EP, and the album’s title track is certainly something that fans of the dream pop/gaze genre are going to swarm towards. On my end, there’s something fairly distinct, as the music at times feels akin to the early boisterousness of Broken Social Scene, though spun through walls of feedback, and simultaneously grasps at something that feels wholly Texas. Pretty special way for you start your week, I must say…courtesy of Who Is Rue Defense.
