Shoegazey pop out of Brooklyn, brings 4AD to mind. Equal parts MBV, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Smiths (jangly guitars more than anything else), and I bet they wouldn't sound like this if Genesis never existed. A little pretentious (they call themselves nouveau wave, check out their press photos, etc.), if that still bothers you as a college radio DJ. Male vox slow, falsetto, echoed across the board. Most songs sound pretty similar to one another. No FCCs detected 1 (2:42) Quiet minute of intro, drums kick in, softly noisy, unintelligible vox at end *2 (4:00) Poppy, synthy, dreamy, lots of ahhs 3 (4:59) Driving, alternating quiet/loud, smeared vox 4 (6:08) Sample of baby crying in the middle of this midtempo shoegaze song 5 (5:20) Loud/soft/loud, tons of synths, loud guitars here and there 6 (4:40) Jangly shoegaze-cum-prog, loud breathing sample at the end *7 (4:18) Louder, lots going on, melded guitars/synths 8 (4:05) Slower, sentimental before picking up in jangly second half 9 (2:20) Depechey, quiet, moody 10 (3:00) Jangle guitar and hazy synthpop alternate *11 (4:30) Upbeat, dreamy, jangly guits again, fem backing vox 12 (5:38) Downtempo, jangly percussion joins the mix 13 (4:42) 80s; imagine if the Stone Roses debut 4 years early opening for Jesus and Mary Chain 14 (2:30) Echoey, dark synths 15 (6:22) Cure influence shines through here, drawn out vox 16 (3:35) Quiet, vox literally echo here and there | ||
