Gently-whirring synths, whispery vocals, an underlining pop melody and a generally groggy air - all quite Veronica Falls, all perfect for those times where sitting still is the best medicine. Alternatively, A Grave With No Name 's new single is also the perfect soundtrack for kicking leaves around on a slow Sunday, or daydreamy bus rides home after unremarkable pints in an unremarkable pub. Aurora comes from the new album, Whirlpool , released through new London label Stare Records (currently no website that I can find) on 1 July. A Grave With [...]
"Cloudkicker is a music that happens when a person named Ben Sharp sometimes uses a computer to record and sequence instruments". Haha, der Mann macht sich kleiner als er ist. Die Musik die er unter dem Namen Cloudkicker an den Mann bringen mchte finde ich nun wirklich ziemlich gut. Hrt sich alles ganz handgemacht an. Nun, ich bin kein Musiker und habe nicht den blassesten Schimmer was man am Computer so alles zusammenbasteln kann, aber dieser instrumentale Mix aus Post-Rock, Ambient, Progressive und Shoegaze hat da ein paar tolle Gitarren-Riffs und Schlagzeugsounds in petto. Sind die alle aus der Konserve? [...]
Mann, was fr groovy heier Shit. Genau das Richtige nach den letzen beiden Party-Nonstop-Tagen. So bleibt man in Stimmung. Wer bei "Deadbeat Sweetheart" von dem australischen Quartett World’s End Press aus Melbourne mit gefalteten Hnden still und bewegungsslos vor sich hinstarrt, braucht einen Fibrillator oder Schlimmeres. Ein langsam dahinschlurfende Song, irgendwo zwischen Disko, Kraut-Rock und Shoegaze der zum gemchlichen Tanzen animiert. Im Juni soll es wohl das Debtalbum der Aussies geben. Man ist gespannt. World’s End Press besuchen: Homepage | Facebook Tags: Australien , [...]
Considering that Ummagma won the Alternative Eurovision held yesterday on Britain’s Amazing Radio, we decided to introduce this haunting chillout piece of ambient, instrumental dreampop, with an equally trippy video to go along with that. This eclectic duo has churned out videos for nearly half of the songs featured in their double debut LP release from last July. This latest clip is for their song “Talk to Her”, produced by French avant-garde filmmaker and multi-media artist Bulle Plexiglass, whose other work you can find here and other videos you can find here . Similar to [...]
Time for a long-overdue Cloud Boat catch-up. Purveyors of eternally bleak, but generally rather beautiful, shoegaze soul, the dup have a new double-A single coming on 20 May via Apollo , featuring the songs Youthern and the surprisingly-fast, surprisingly-trancy Hammerspace . My advice would be to wait a week, though, for then comes a debut LP, Book Of Hours . featuring those two songs, other recent singles like Dréan and Wanderlust , and extra tunes beside. That one's also out via Apollo. Click here [...]
If there's one person, other than Kevin Shields, whose name might be synonymous with shoegaze, it is Scott Cortez. He's been creating ambient and textural guitar music since the 80s with tons of bands that include Astrobrite and Lovesliescrushing. On this latest Lovesliescrushing release, the duo, comprised of Scott Cortez and Melissa Arpin-Duimstra, explore warm ambient guitar drone with far-off vocals soaked in reverb. It is from their upcoming release, Ghost Colored Halo out on May 21.

Sounds from nowhere. Music whispering like the breeze. Lazer guided melodies. Each week, an Ecuador based DJ who goes by the name Agte. Mulder puts together a podcast on Spreaker compiled of select shoegaze, dream pop, and drone sorts of music. Since I'm not too familiar with those genres myself, I asked Agte. Mulder if I could post his podcast here on The Record Stache. Thankfully, he agreed. The result is the Lazer Guided Melodies podcast [...]
It's been around for a couple of weeks but I'm only just now falling for the subtle charms of Vondelpark 's Always Forever , the latest single from current album Seabed . Like all the trio's tunes, it's a fiercely melodic and defiantly low-key beast: sounds overlap sounds, and the overall effect is blurry, slightly rarefied or, to borrow from drug parlance, a bit monged. After a few listens the notes become more familiar, though, and the track starts to resemble a patchwork of symphonies, one onto which I will happily throw myself. [...]
Chances are you’re already all over Nightmare Air but just in case you missed it… the L.A.-based trio released their debut record ‘ High In The Lasers ’ earlier in the year featuring the noise popper ‘Escape’. If wall of sound guitars with a pop twist are your thing then you’ll fall quickly for Nightmare Air. Check out their East Coast tour with Tennis System and Dead Leaf Echo – dates here .

Mein Zufallsfund des Tages - The Hollyhocks aus Italien, die ich auf Soundcloud mehr oder minder unfreiwillig auf den Schirm und kurze Zeit später auf die Ohren bekam. 2009 gegründet spielten sie sich The Hollyhocks erstmal in Turin und Italien den Allerwertesten ab und gaben Interviews in Webradios auf der ganzen Welt. 2010 erschien die erste EP "A Place To Hide" auf dem TDMC Records Label . Und wie bei einigen anderen italienischen Bands, mischen The Hollyhocks den Synthsound der 80er mit experimentellen Klanglandschaften. Und so sind einerseits die New Wave Anleihen deutlich, während die Gitarren mit [...]

There is no doubt that DC’s sundry music scene continues to flourish. With good reason, acts like the District’s own Paperhaus ought to be much more anticipated than the semi-disappointment that the capital’s renowned Cherry Blossoms annually provide. Paperhaus drops their sophomore EP, "Lo Hi Lo", later this month as they embark on a 50 [...]
This Spring the shoegaze band Star Horse has followed up on the debut EP " Crush " from the Autumn with the new EP "Lust". They serve us five songs, this time with a wider, and somewhat bigger sound, but still with the same unmistakably dreamy gentlenesss, and melodic beuatiful music.

Words by Tom Johnson I sleep terribly. Actually, I sleep okay but I wake terribly. No wait, I wake brilliantly, unfortunately it's always far too early every single day, whether I like it or not. This means that I mostly search for new music either very late at night or very early in the morning. This morning was no different and sure enough, despite having no reason whatsoever to be awake, I found myself there, mug of tea in hand, trawling Bandcamp, at 7.15am. Only today I didn't mind too much. It [...]
' Red Sky At Night ' the new EP from Sydney rock act All Sparks Burn Out is available now via Bandcamp . The quartet's sprawling rocker 'After Summer' rides on the back of some reverb drenched vocals before crashing into a pit of noise - thumbs up! All Sparks Burn Out - 'After Summer' [...]
'Ghost Colored Halo', the new release from ambient/noise vets Lovesliescrushing was recorded in one take with no overdubs. Impressive! The duo (Scott Cortez and Melissa Arpin-Duimstra) earlier announced via Facebook that this "sister ep" would be the precursor to a new album. 'Ghost Colored Halo' will be available from Projekt records on May 21. Lovesliescrushing - 'Blemished Sunspot' [...]
