By our reckoning we're less than three weeks away from living in a world where those in the know will be walking around town unable to stop themselves from singing "Krill, Krill, Krill forever" [and oh shit hare krsna, now there are these t-shirts , too]. Not because a new cult is taking hold in indie rock circles... or at least not the kind of cult that one usually associates with word "cult." No, that simple chant is the chorus to the opening and closing numbers from Boston indie trio Krill 's triumphant sophomore set Lucky Leaves [...]]]> text/html 2011-07-26T07:12:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3598031/the-daysleepers-schner-shoegaze-aus-new-york-verursacher-fr/
Ich bin mir gar nicht einmal sicher, ob The Daysleepers, ein 2004 in Buffalo, New York gegründetes Quartet noch existiert. Auf Facebook gibt es keine Informationen und ihr MySpace-Profil erscheint mausetot. Immerhin gibt es dort wie auf ihrer Homepage eine Menge Songs zu hören. Und die gefallen mir. Darum. Die Musik ist jedenfalls da und Read the Rest...]]> text/html 2010-02-11T15:50:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2328387/contest-daysleeper-in-nyc/

Beloved Rogue - Capital Sense [mp3] Beloved Rogue are a trio from Brooklyn who seem to have a deep affection for vintage shoegazer bands like Ride and Swervedriver. If you've read this blog for more than a minute than you might know that I'm a sucker for this kind of sound. Last fall the band released the three track ep Polaurora and they have a 7" available now at Insound . "Daysleeping" video and live dates below. More on the band here .

Artwork by Tara Mcpherson I love music like Air and Bonobo that make me feel as if I'm in another world. I'm transcending above my current hole into some place special. Some place without limits. A little mini mix here of 3 songs that take me to that place... I hope they'll do the same for you. [...]]]> text/html 2009-11-20T09:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2142185/beloved-rogue/
Beloved Rogue , from Brooklyn in the USA have been together since late 2008 when Sean Finnigan (Vocals, Guitar) Michael Petrucelly (Drums) and Alex Koch (Vocals, Bass and Guitar) who had known each other while playing in different bands, got together. In the past year the band have released anEP, which was recorded in live sessions then over dubbed with guitar and vocal harmonies in a home studio. Beloved Rogue The trio play what can best be described as dreamy rock. The effect is [...]]]> text/html 2009-08-27T13:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1949246/shoegaze-allnighter-in-hamburg-und-in-mnchen/
Noch vor gar nicht so langer Zeit wre ein Posting wie dieses hier illusorisch gewesen denn ich habe die Ehre, gleich auf zwei Shoegazepartys hinzuweisen, die an diesem Wochenende hierzulande stattfinden: eine im Norden, eine im Sden der Republik. Es scheint, als wenn man auch in Deutschland so langsam aufwacht und den Trend, der seit lngerem in den USA, England und Asien das stumpfe Garagengerocke der vergangenen Jahre zu ersetzen beginnt, wahrnimmt. Den Auftakt macht morgen die zweite Ausgabe des Feedback Fever in Hamburg ab 23 Uhr geht [...]]]> text/html 2009-05-01T09:37:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1697341/the-daysleepers/

The gazing Daysleepers kindly give away their Mesmerize EP! Check out their new well done album, it starts with song that reminds me of something long ago...

Ive reviewed another writers band before. It could be said that we partake in homerism and are biased in this regard. Well while Id like to think that we don't do this, take it for what you will, you be the judge. I received an e-mail from Cas Kaplan promoting his band Day Sleeper in addition to his bands album, Drop Your Sword. After e-mailing Cas that I would be reviewing his album (back in January, I do spend a lot of time with albums, in the rare cases greater then 2 weeks on constant rotation [...]]]> text/html 2009-02-16T12:03:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1530230/a-caged-lion/
Let's start off the week with a five song indie rock / folk selection: + Bon Iver 's autotunous single "Woods" is like that girl you see in your block, which looks like an ugly boy one day and a supermodel the next. Can't guarantee you'll like it but the autotuned "I'm up in the woods/ I'm down on my mind" lyrics are etched to my mind right now. + Dame Satan 's music is as good as the name. Beaches & Bridges was a great album that deserved a little [...]]]> text/html 2009-01-21T14:54:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1472459/daysleeper/
Daysleeper - Drop your Sword (ZIP) Warm and tender Shoegaze from Boston and the debut as a free download. Don't forget to order the handmade nonvirtual CD!]]> text/html 2008-12-04T10:13:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1387450/xlr8r-melodies-in-distortion-shoegaze-mix/
The ever-consistent XLR8R have recruited Dreamweapon to put together this mix of sound odysseys and dreamy drones. Melodies in Distortion covers the pedal-attacking pioneers of the early shoegaze movement, paired with the contemporary Wah armed gangs of the newgaze formation, then sidelined by a mind melt of the space-rock and drone-driven pedal pushers. Enjoy this leap through the decades. Melodies in Distortion Mix Tracklist: 1. Mogwai - Stereodee 2. Spectrum - Undo the Taboo 3. Slowdive - Slowdive 4.

Oh, what a neato night of pavement pounding! Here, in precise order, is the crme de la crme of tonights just-completed nocturnal mission, randomly chosen for us by my thoughtful little pod.

A great set of tunes for you this week. I'm in a great mood today mainly because York City FC have signed a decent goalkeeper to replace our dodgy one thus giving us a fighting chance next season. I normally feel quite disappointed when the football season comes to an end and the prospect of two months with nothing to moan about becomes reality but this year I'm delighted. Such has been York's season that I was praying for it's end back in January when it was all to clear that not [...]]]> text/html 2008-05-06T07:17:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1048767/record-box-652008/
Plaaydoh - Boy Scout (WSP) This is one of five tracks from the Glasgow bands debut ep which as luck would have it you can download for free from the Winning Sperm Party website Here . You can also buy it as a rather limited 7" single with a hand made sleeve as well. Lovely....

Aus der Abteilung "lupenreiner Schuhstarrersound lebt noch immer und ihm gehts immer besser" hier ein nahezu perfektes Beispiel: The Daysleepers haben alle musikalischen Entwicklungen nach 1990 tagtrumend und nachhaltig negiert und zaubern uns Nachttrumern ein schnes lupenreines Shoegazestck nach dem anderen vom Saitenbrett. Der Sound ist absolut authentisch und erfreut jedes Gazers (und somit auch mein) Herz. Nach zwei EP's erscheint bald ihr erstes Album mit authentischen Titel "Drowned in the Sea of Sound" via Clairecords.

Could well be possible that if the whole shoegaze thing is alien to your ears that The Soft Attack may sound a tad underproduced. What youve got to understand though is that the Daysleepers (I mean the name alone) have successfully reconvened a sound that has been reappearing in fits and starts since the early part of the century. The genre originated a full decade earlier when its prime]]> text/html 2007-07-23T01:44:23+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/613394/the-daysleepers-sway/
The Daysleepers // Threnody Here's a really pleasant New York dreampop shoegaze band. It's really easy listening. They are more alternative rock sounding. This song is off of their E.P. called Hide Your Eyes. [ website ] Sway // Days (Reprise) Another hazy sounding track from a California band.

This one starts out slow, with Thom Yorke singing "I Feel Better, I Got Better, I Got Strong" , only to build up into a maze of distorted guitars. Only Radiohead can do it like this. mp3 Lurgee Radiohead - Pablo Honey This one came off 2004's Cherry Tree EP , a slow acoustic number with Matt Berninger painting a story via his trademark conversational vocal style. Nice indeed. mp3 [...]]]>
