July Skies - “The Weather Clock”
All told, The Weather Clock is really just more of the same from Antony Harding. But if you find yourself at all captivated by July Skies’ crepuscular sounds, than you’ll welcome any chance to remain absorbed and captivated by them a little longer.
Auburn Lull - “Begin Civil Twilight”
Begin Civil Twilight is so ethereal that at times, it’s rather unengaging.
Lovesliescrushing - “Chorus”
Even among diehard shoegazer fans, Lovesliescrushing’s Chorus might be something of an acquired taste, but it’s never less than fascinating.
Secret Shine - “Beyond Sea And Sky”
It’s been something like ten years since Secrent Shine released any new material (much of the band’s Sarah Records-based back catalogue was re-released in 2004 on Clairecords), and it’s almost as if the band has been stuck in a timewarp. The press release may mention the likes of Mogwai and Sigur Rós, but make no mistake, this is straight up old school shoegazer circa 1993. If Kathryn Smith’s wispy vocals on “Lost Memory” don’t cause the Lush memories to come rushing back, than you have much better ears than I, my friend.
