Single Lash Return With Lush New Single “Now for the Real World”

Single Lash came out of the Austin music scene in a fervor of shimmering guitars, Goth romanticism, and a knack for repurposing the “college rock” sound of the 80s and early 90s. Not repurposing in a way that felt derivative in any way, but somehow channeling the magic of bands like Catherine Wheel, The Cure, […]

Deftones : private music

Deftones are true survivors of the onslaught of the mid-90s heavy music scene. Lumped into the Nu metal crowd(unfairly), by their 3rd album White Pony the California art rock/metal band showed far more many colors and hues in their sonic palate. This gave them the artistic and creative cache needed to solidify a respected music […]

Billow Observatory : The Glass Curtain

The duo Billow Observatory -consisting of Auburn Lull’s Jason Kolb and Causa Sui’s Jonas Munk- are a transatlantic ambient/instrumental project. Since 2012 these two musicians have been sharing, manipulating, cutting and pasting music files back and forth across the Atlantic. They turn guitars and electronics into something completely new and engaging. With their 2012 debut […]

Miki Berenyi Trio : Tripla

Lush were one of the big ones in terms of late 80s/early 90s shoegaze bands. Along with Ride, Chapterhouse, Slowdive, Swervedriver and My Bloody Valentine, Lush established their hazy, dreamy, and ghostly sound through delayed guitars, ghostly vocals, and guitarist/singer Miki Berenyi’s delivery. Berenyi’s vocals were clear, but always just a bit under the mix, […]

Billow Observatory Return With ‘The Glass Curtain’, Out 4/25

The electronic musical duo of Billow Observatory -which includes Jonas Munk(Causa Sui) and Jason Kolb(Auburn Lull)- have been making understated ambient, instrumental shoegaze, and ethereal dream pop for over a decade now. The transatlantic duo(Kolb resides in Michigan while Munk is located in Denmark) have a knack for writing in a kind of ‘ambient code’ […]

Deafheaven : Lonely People With Power

Deafheaven are the kind of band I never thought I’d listen to, let alone find myself fanboying over. The black/death metal shrieks of singer George Clarke were not my taste; blast beats like they were going out of style, not to mention the caffeinated guitar riffs that never relented. On paper I would have passed […]

Billow Observatory Return With New Track “Systol Nightshade”; New Album Coming In 2025

The last full-length album from the ambient/shoegaze duo Billow Observatory(Jonas Munk and Jason Kolb) was 2022’s excellent Stareside, which was a culmination of what these two musicians had been working towards since their self-titled debut in 2012. Munk coming from Denmark and with plenty of work under his belt as guitarist for Causa Sui; not […]

DIIV : Frog In Boiling Water

DIIV have established themselves as one of the premier indie rock bands of the 2010s, combining dream pop, shoegaze, and noise rock into a sublime guitar squall. 2012s Oshin established guitarist and band leader Zachary Cole Smith as a prominent voice in the indie rock community and a purveyor of shoegaze, much like contemporaries Nothing, […]

The Jesus And Mary Chain : Glasgow Eyes

The Jesus and Mary Chain have been a staple of the shoegaze/noise-pop community for 40 years, releasing their debut Psychocandy in 1985. Blurry, fuzzy, and noisy, Psychocandy was unlike anything else out at the time. The next album to make such a sonic statement was My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless six years later. Though brothers William […]

Single Lash : Ladida

Single Lash builds worlds on their records. The Austin-based alternative band began as a musical outlet for singer/songwriter Nicolas Nadeau. Releasing debut Almost Breathing in 2012, Nadeau has built on those early dark, Gothic songs that ranged from echo-laden dark wave and 4AD vibes to a more bright, ethereal sound. The band has expanded to […]
