expect delay
Videos, live performances, documentaries. Moving pictures. Talkies.
So about a decade ago there was a big sort of shoegaze/dreampop renaissance and a bunch of new bands showed up with Fender offset guitars and loads of chorus and delay pedals on hand and, for the most part, because I’m a contrary bastard, I had no time for any of it even though – […]
A couple of true things about Dundalk, Ireland’s Just Mustard. One, that’s a bad band name. Sorry. Second, while a lot of adjectives apply – shoegaze, goth, electronic, industrial, post-punk – they all combine quite nicely on the band’s second record Heart Under for a decidedly discomfiting – in the best way – listening experience. […]
I got it in my head to go looking for a Beach House video to post, and besides the fact that they don’t have a lot of conventional, official videos, it took some digging and lo and behold I came across this clip from 2012’s Bloom that I had no idea existed, though apparently it […]
Having begun their official Light & Magic 20th anniversary celebrations as an online-only affair last month with an unreleased video for the record’s title track, Ladytron have spent the past few weeks sharing more era rarities via various outlets, culminating in a Twitter listening party via Tim’s Twitter Listening Party this past Saturday, the record’s […]
Like many, Suede spent the early part of the pandemic stuck at home and tidying up, and after digging through their archives they opted to begin sharing some of the unearthed treasures with fans on their YouTube channel. This included complete live shows from their various eras, and one of those was their December 1996 […]
Object 47 – so named because it was the 47th entry in Wire’s official discography – came at an interesting time in the band’s existence. Coming five years after Send and the Read & Burn EPs heralded their return and relevance in the 21st century, it found the band in unknown territory with founding guitarist […]
A State Of Grace, the first new record from The House of Love in nine years, arrives this Friday so let’s go back to one of the more under-appreciated of their wholly under-appreciated discography. Most of the praise is given to either one of the first two self-titled albums, colloquially called Creation or Fontana, for […]
It wasn’t a single. It was never played live. It didn’t even sound like anything the band had ever done. And yet by virtue of its stark, dark, beauty acting as a coda for the cosmic grandeur of Souvlaki, “Dagger” became one of Slowdive’s signature songs. A scan of the lyrics invite speculation that it’s […]
When Amelia Murray, aka Fazerdaze, returned from the wilderness last month, it came without much explanation of where she’d been from the last four years nor what was going to come next. And fans might have had those questions, but didn’t ask – they were just happy to have her back. But in anticipation and […]
After waiting six years for Melody’s Echo Chamber’s second album Bon Voyage – a record which arrived in 2018 with a seeming tone of finality and farewell – fans have been blessed this year with not only a third record in the lovely Emotional Eternal, but now a second release that everyone knew existed but […]
