Stream Mentalease’s New Album, Indian Summer

Leave a comment

endienI love writing about Mentalease; the Ohio three-piece has a habit of gracing these pages quite frequently.  So why bring you more? Why the hell not?  I’ve been jamming to their new LP, Indian Summer.  The entire album is really something special, falling in line with some nostalgic shoegaze nods, though if I’m honest, the whole record sounds like the Terry Malts if you removed the caffeine.  There’s still a pop sensibility, but the songs unfold slowly, allowing for the group to really focus on maximizing their sonic exploration.  This is really a place where you can spend much of your time today, if you’re into that sort of thing.

More New Music From She’s So Rad

One comment

Right at the beginning of summer I posted about this up and coming New Zealand band She’s So Rad and their fresh new take on the shoegaze movement.  Today the band just sent me over this new track “Time” which is similar in style to the first track we heard from the band “Confetti”.  I see tons of promise for this band and I expect more great things to come from them in the upcoming year.  A new album is said to be on it’s way sometime in the early part of 2013, so stay tuned here as the information develops.

Dark Shoegaze from The Perfect Needle

Leave a comment

It’s been a pretty awesome couple of months for Brazil’s The Perfect Needle; they’ve drenched several singles in dark atmospheric haze, and this is just the latest of those singles.  There’s not too much info about the band, other than their country of origin, but both singles really have something to offer listeners.  I’d be careful to listen to this track with the volume turned up too loud, as you’re likely to either bust your speakers or your eardrums.  You’ve been warned folks.

New Heavy Pop Track from Bloody Knives

2 comments

There’s a lot less blood on the hands of Bloody Knives than one would expect, if you were going by their name and the title of their most recent album Blood.  That being said, it’s sort of irrelevant because the music they’re making is pretty incredible, and you can grab that record from Saint Marie Records.  As a kid who grew up with his fair share of angst, there’s a darkness captured in the song itself, but the combination of shoegaze elements transforms the song itself, giving it a metallic sheen to coat its pop attributes.  Totally enjoying this one.
