Yeah I'm liking trauma ray. There are so many bands trying to do the big shoegaze guitars with submerged vocals but I like just how washy and haunting they make it. They have the riffs too.
for cassette collectors, this is great. really good dream pop. super pretty, super catchy, super fuzzy
another super 90s sounding dream pop ep. reminds me of someone, but I cant think of who, especially vocally. gets kinda aggressive at points, but never super heavy
This ep is so damn good, I've spun it daily since Friday. I'm hearing some Thursday post hardcore vibes in there which I'm digging.
The new Open Hand has some serious Slowdive ("Again?"), Swervedriver ("In My Way"), and just generally awesome shoegaze ("Draw the Line", "Return") vibes at times:
“Shine (Onto Me)” showed up on a daily mix and is instantly one of my favorite songs of the year, so I will be peeping the whole thing
