Eureka California at Bandcamp
“Go to bed well before the evening/ but I don’t sleep, I just lay awake,” sings Jake Ward on “Caffeine,” a rare moment of quiet on the band’s roaring new record Versus. It’s a good summary statement for the record in general: after a string of charming but decidedly lo-fi releases, Ward and bandmate Marie… Continue reading Eureka California at Bandcamp
deardarkhead at Stereo Embers
Spooky. Liminal. Wrapped in gleaming smoke while twisting mirrors into ribbons. Vast of inference, flocked with spires of melody, circling you like a sonic Möbius strip, the noise Deardarkhead make invites more mystery than it solves which is almost certainly the point but what’s that matter when they sound as beguilingly gorgeous as this? History… Continue reading deardarkhead at Stereo Embers

Eureka California at Flagpole
“This is more our speed,” says Jake Ward as he lifts a piece of Popeye’s chicken to his mouth. Cajun-tinged jazz is playing over the fast-food restaurant’s speakers, and there are two TVs—one in front of and one behind Ward and bandmate Marie Uhler—set to a low murmur. The first is on ESPN, which is… Continue reading Eureka California at Flagpole

High Violets at Fadeawayradiate
The High Violets are our favourite high-priests of Dreampop! They have been around since 1998, way before the “second wave” or nugaze, and have risen to somewhat of a Sainthood by now. The fact that they haven’t released anything since 2010 just adds to their already legendary proportions ( esp. in the US), and I… Continue reading High Violets at Fadeawayradiate

Witching Waves at Vinyl District
Witching Waves is a London-based three-piece with clear ties to post-punk, the guitar textures of Sonic Youth and the rawer side of the ‘90s indie rock spectrum, a blend nicely enhanced by trio leanness and a tendency to bear down and get raucous. Crystal Cafeis their second LP, and while it’s erroneous to portray its… Continue reading Witching Waves at Vinyl District
Witching Waves at London in Stereo
The follow-up to Witching Waves’ 2014 debutFear Of Falling Down sees the London three-piece navigate towards a more focused vision. On Crystal Cafe, the trio’s heightened confidence is manifested in myriad ways: whileFear Of Falling Down‘s breezy chaos was as successful as it was haphazardly created (the band themselves admit that the making the first… Continue reading Witching Waves at London in Stereo
