When Kurayamisaka dropped their long-awaited full-length debut kurayamisaka yori ai wo komete last month, I commented that it was odd that for such a long-awaited record, the release rollout was surprisingly muted as far as new content goes (though one could argue that a new album is plenty of new content). As it turns out […]
It wasn’t a surprise that London’s Dry Cleaning had a new record in the hopper – they’ve been respectably prolific since coming on the scene in 2021 and it’s been three years since their last full-length Stumpwork – and just wrapped a short North American tour ahead of more European dates this Fall. This is […]
Lots of on-topic new music in the last little while which we will largely get to in time, but for now let’s ring in October with news of Whitelands’ second album. The London shoegazers teased the follow-up to their 2024 debut Night-Bound Eyes Are Blind To The Day back in June with “Heat Of The […]
Los Angeles’ Soft Blue Shimmer started their North American tour for third album They Will Leave Us With Nothing last week and will be rolling into Toronto tomorrow night for a show at The Baby G. They were here a couple years ago for a gig at The Monarch, which I missed because I was […]
Long out of print, The Clientele’s 2003 album The Violet Hour will finally be getting a reissue courtesy of their current home at Merge Records on November 7. It will be the first time the album has been available on vinyl in North America, which is good news for anyone who’s ever checked how much […]
It was announced on Monday that Lush’s Gala – the 1990 compilation of the band’s early EPs which are generally regarded as their first album but really is not – would be getting a 35th anniversary reissue on November 7. Newly remastered, the triple vinyl edition will contain the three component EPs – Scar, Mad […]
South Korean shoegazers Swiimers haven’t had the most linear career – singer MQ Cho (조민경) fronted Ultra High-Frequency, who released a debut EP in 2012, before forming the new outfit with a similar sound and putting out a self-titled EP in 2016 (covered in previous posts) and a handful (well, three) singles over the next […]
This year’s Next Music From Tokyo kicks off tonight at The Horseshoe in Toronto, and repping the shoegazier end of the bill is Machida’s Carpenter’sBlue. They’ve been releasing a series of new singles throughout the Summer, presumably a runway to a second album at some point in the near future, but today I’m going way […]
It just now occurs to me that I could have posted some Maria Somerville when I was looking for some geo-topical content this Summer while I was in Dublin, but saving it for now – with her North American tour now underway – works, too. Somerville released her second album Luster back in April and […]
Ladytron don’t do throwaways, so their release of a their first official single as a trio with the departure of Reuben Wu when 2023’s Time’s Arrow was released, almost certainly implies more activity in the near future. The smouldering “I Believe In You” may have arrived last week without any sort of comment, but there’s […]
