expect delay
I was going to say “London’s Daughter” but considering that the three members are now scattered across the globe, the geographic qualifier seems misplaced. I believe the logistics, amongst other factors, were why the band didn’t tour or play live (almost) at all for their last record, 2023’s Stereo Mind Game, which means if you […]
Minneapolis’ She’s Green had themselves quite a 2025, going from secret darlings of /r/shoegaze to international touring concern – they just landed in China today – but surely the highlight of the year was landing themselves on my year-end list with their slightly confusing but undisputedly wonderful releases, the physical issue of Wisteria and new […]
Since I’ve switched to Apple Music for streaming in 2022, it has been very insistent that the most appropriate autoplay selection for whatever album I’ve just finished is Beach House. And not just any Beach House song, but almost always “Space Song”. Sometimes “Myth”, sometimes “Silver Soul”, but most often is “Space Song”, and I’ve […]
Inspired by yesterday’s IG post reminding myself how much I liked School Of Seven Bells back in the day, here’s the video for “Windstorm” , the opening track from their second album, 2010’s Disconnect From Desire. As the band has been firmly left in the past with the passing of Benjamin Curtis in 2012 and […]
The trope of multi-instrumentalist dude and ghostly-voiced girl is a familiar one in dreampop – some might want to use the word cliche – but there’s a reason it persists; when it hits, it hits just right. Slow Salvation score pretty high on both precision and accuracy, with Nashville’s Travis Trevisan (formerly of Tape Deck Mountain) […]
Somehow lost in the rollout of Hatchie’s third album Liquorice last month was that, following what had been a pretty conventional rollout of singles/videos leading up the record’s street date – “Lose It Again” in September, “Only One Laughing” in October – there was a big ol’ video dump on release day, consisting of an […]
Tokyo dreampoppers Moon In June have rightly been spending this year promoting their second album 色彩を持たないで, which came out back in April, so it was a bit of a surprise to see them promoting the release on a new 7″ single that came out last week that is, in fact, anything but new. Put out […]
We’ve got us another teaser of Whitelands‘ second album Sunlight Echoes ahead of its official release on January 30 of the new year. That makes this the third preview song, if we’re keeping track. Of the soaring, string-laden “Songbird (Forever)”, singer Etienne Quartey-Papafio says: It’s about my friends, the important people in my life, and […]
Yesterday’s Radio Dept instagram post sent me down a little rabbit hole – never an unpleasant place to be – but one of the things I discovered was their official website, which I never knew about. To be fair, they’ve had and abandoned a few web presences over the years, and their recent inactivity didn’t […]
Can you think of a better way to close out the week than with an hour-plus of excellent-quality audio live Cocteau Twins? Maybe you can, but surely this is in the top five. In May 1996, in the midst of touring their final album Milk & Kisses, the Cocteau Twins took part in what was […]
