Video: Wet Hair "Camouflage"

The maturation of Shawn Reed and Ryan Garbes has long been in the works. Fans of the duo since their days in deconstructionist unit [...]

À paraitre le 26 juin prochain sur  De Stijl ,  Spill Into Atmosphere  des américains Wet Hair s'avère d'autant plus fascinant qu'il creuse le même sillon psyché-rock que son prédécesseur In Vogue Spirit  (2011) tout en haussant sévèrement le ton au niveau de la production. Le trio composé de Ryan Garbes, Shawn Reed - instigateur et illustrateur du label Night People - et désormais de Justin Tye, façonne en huit morceaux un disque abouti, vivotant toujours non loin des Rene Hell, Peaking Lights et Naked On The Vague, mais densifiant ses chrysalides synthétiques d'une basse lourde et contondante.
