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.
