Cosmopaark – and I can’t breathe enough

The Euro shoegaze scene has been slowly becoming dominant in my listening habits. In particular France has been featuring big. The latest band to drop into my inbox with their musical delights are the Bordeaux-based trio, Cosmopaark. The name is a contraction of cosmonaut and a nod to Gus Van Sant’s movie Paranoid Park, a film which has a nineties aesthetic. The nineties are a big touchpoint for the band […]

Virgins – Transmit a Little Heaven EP

Back in August last year, Ireland's Virgins burst into our consciousness with their epic debut single ‘Vows’. It was an instant hit with me, the perfect blend of dreamy rock and head-on gaze. The band is formed around the main man Michael Smyth with David Sloan on guitar, James Foy on drums, Rebecca Dow on vocals and Brendy McCann of Hand Models on bass. Since the release of ‘Vows’, the […]

New Tracks Weekend, October 8-10, 2021

More new than usual. Took multiple working days to compile this cornucopia of sound. Would tell you there's at least 33% more new tracks added just this weekend than usual, even rivaling a Bandcamp Friday-style release roster. Didn't see it coming, not gonna complain. We're celebrating the grand return of Softsurf (pictured above), with their first release in ages. Worth the wait? We'd contend it is. We celebrate the new […]

New Tracks Weekend, October 30 – November 1

OVERPACKED. We've got so much new, and a limited time to shine (even though it's all weekend). Our largest haul of quality new music in recent memory, and we'll spool out the sparkle. Headliners: Nothing. The album we'd previewed here is everything that our reviewer said it was, and more. But there's so much more than just Nothing, and we've got it all batched and sorted. New albums from Holy […]

Nothing – The Great Dismal

Philadelphia heavy gazers Nothing are back with a new album, in what must be described as an attempt to make 2020 not a complete and total loss. The Great Dismal was conceived when singer and songwriter Dominic Palermo picked up a copy of the New York Times from a newsstand and saw the famous first photograph of a black hole, taken by scientists in 2019. True enough, he couldn’t escape […]

New Tracks Weekend, September 11-13

So much fresh music to bring you... from audacious debut singles to epic full albums, we're (sonically) dressed to impress this weekend. The return of Nothing made waves this morning, and if the album is even half as compelling as the single, we're in for a wild ride. The new album from DoZzz is a masterclass in texture and structure: it might not be a "singles" album per se, it […]
