This is the second Postal Blue album in a mere 18 year existence and so must signal a revival of shoegazing dream pop in their home country of Brazil. Yes, Brazilian shoegazers will be all over the airwaves next year at the Olympics I’m sure. Anyway, this album is out on the super cool Jigsaw… Continue reading Postal Blue at Whisperin and Hollerin

One listen and anyone could easily be convinced that this was a lost Sarah Records release, with its songs… Continue reading Postal Blue at Innocent Words
