That is pure dope - first track sounds like it could have been ripped right off Whirl's Distressor, and the rest is worth a tenner.

jhulud Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Oh, wow...that Iris Haunt Me EP is another sweet, sweet morcel of shoegaze dreampop to get hooked on.... shawnayala90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The new Queen Kwong song "Get A Witness" has a pretty spaced-out dreampop feel to it. Although their first EP was leaning more towards a Brit-pop sound a la Elastica (but stripped down), this is a new progression of sorts. http://www.the1stfive.com/news/queen-kwong-release-new-song-get-a-witness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that kind of ruin it for people when a band almost sounds identical...IDK May order cause it still is solid. And I LOVE TEN INCHES!

Does that kind of ruin it for people when a band almost sounds identical...IDK May order cause it still is solid. And I LOVE TEN INCHES! it's a shoe gaze band. Distorted guitars and buried vocals. With that said I don't see whir. Way too many other bands have done this and way better than whir. Doubt they thought let's rip off that band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scumpadre Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I highly recommend Airiel. Some of the prettiest and heaviest shoegaze I've heard. Great band from Chicago that's criminally underrated in my opinion. I'd also recommend Lightfoils. Features a few ex-members of Airiel. *Many apologies for stuffing this post.

JRHews Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 New Album coming soon by Seapony. Their early stuff wasn't the best, but the last album 'Falling' I really liked. First two singles from this are pretty nice as well, so I'll probably be picking it up soon! https://seapony.bandcamp.com/ Also of note, Daughter is in the studio working on their follow up to If You Leave!!! Super excite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that kind of ruin it for people when a band almost sounds identical...IDK I can see why you say that, this ep and their last seem to sound like older Whirr with the female vocal, but I actually like that since Whirr dropped the female vocal altogether, and yeah pretty generic nugaze at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palms are a home run, hopefully so will Minor Victories Thanks for posting, Juan! Off to twitter to add another one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoStairwayDenied Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Does anyone else's copy of Pinkshinyultrablast - Everything Else Matters sound like shit?
