expect delay
You may recall I said I was almost done with the Mojave 3 content, coinciding with the release of their reissues a couple weeks ago, and that’s because in the process of putting together my preceding posts, I found this set which I think warrants its own article. In my IG post from a few […]
I’ve been a fan of Trespassers William for almost 25 years now, going back to their 2002 second album Different Stars, a monumental document of country-space-gaze-core. You might think that wouldn’t require much effort considering their last album came out 20 years ago and they’ve been officially disbanded since 2012, but they’ve still sneakily been […]
Today’s release of the Mojave 3 reissues finally draws a line under that band’s tenure, and it’s a bittersweet moment. On one hand, it’s wonderful that these records are again in print and their existence should draw some attention from Slowdive’s new fans, but it’s also sad because there was a charm and magic in […]
Ahead of their final show next month, Tokyo dreampoppers AprilBlue have released their final single, 『ヴァージンノイズ』, which translates to “Virgin Noise” and in the words of singer Haruki Funasoko: “These are the lyrics I wrote while questioning the meaning of standing on stage with this band. I’m glad I was able to leave them behind. […]
It’s not intentional that this site is becoming something of a She’s Green fansite, but the pace at which they’re creating and releasing great material is just impossible to ignore, and while I like to think I’m being pretty curatorial in what I post… the machine needs to be fed. But still, even with their […]
I previewed sundayclub’s new dreamy janglepop gem of a record via its first two singles in May, and with their self-titled debut out today I’d be remiss if I didn’t also share the third part in their trilogy of videos, released a couple weeks ago as the final preview of the record, or the fourth […]
Those who pay attention may note that I technically shared this song last Fall on its release, along with its companion B-side “Glow”, but that was a month before the official video for the song was released and considering how little quality video content there is from The Neverminds – I’ve been talking up the […]
Based on the press around the release of Liquorice last year, I had a feeling that Hatchie was going to eschew the full North American touring she’d undertaken for her first two records but it’s still a little disappointing that besides a not-even-handful of US shows earlier this year, it looks like she’s staying in […]
It’s been a poorly kept secret for years now that there were Mojave 3 reissues coming from 4AD at some point, but details had been less than vague until recently. Back in April 4AD released a limited edition run of their 1995 debut Ask Me Tomorrow as part of the Rough Trade 50 reissue series, […]
The theme of the week may well be unexpected returns, with The Radio Dept. back in action and now Shojoskip – the self-proclaimed “Happy Band From Tokyo” – returning at the end of this month for their first show and recordings in over a decade, and doing it all casual-like as if it’s no big […]
