5) Laveda - Ghost



Dream Pop force Laveda awaken nostalgic moods in their sound, drawing heavily from 90s Shoegaze and Experimental Rock. Formed in the summer of 2017, the bedroom recording project was founded by Ali Genevich (vocals, guitar) and Jake Brooks (guitar, vocals, synths). Having rapidly developed over the past year, the duo has made huge growth morphing their songs from simplistic Singer-Songwriter styles into an overwhelming and full-fledged listening experience. The now 4-piece band consisting of new members Joe Taurone (drums) and Dan Paoletti (bass, synths) just completed their first tour of the Northeastern US and Canada in August and dropped their second single "Better Now" on August 16th. The track has since been featured on Spotify's Indie Pop playlist, featured on bandcamp's New and Notable section, and has captured the attention of both national and international audiences.
The release of “Ghost” also marks the official announcement for Laveda’s debut album, What Happens After, releasing on vinyl on April 24th.

Singles of the Week (07/20)

1) Meltway - Everytime



Dánská kytarová indie scéna má nový přírustek. Jedná se kapelu Meltway a jejich debutové EP Everytime ovlivněné snovým indie-rockem a hlavně shoegaze scénou 90 let. Jsou jinak čtyři a na tomto materiálu najdete celkem 5 skladeb, mě osobně zatím zaujala nejvíce píseň From Blue.

Meltway are 3 Danes and a Norwegian, with a love for shoegazing and dreamy atmospheres.
Dreamy and noisy indie-rock heavily inspired by the 90's shoegaze-scene.

Their debut effort, Everytime, invokes a state of melodrama, daydreaming and soothing euphoria, which often collide in a lo-fi grandeur.

Hazy guitars, distorted basslines, and the occasional analog synthesizer are used in meditative stretches and sonic manipulations to create an ambient and ethereal soundscape.

Vocals are supremely airy and introvert, adding a warm and comforting element in the lo-fi universe. The lyrical themes of heartbreak and longing become less oppressive and overshadowing, and more accepting.

Singles of the Week (06/20)

1) Thyla - Everything At Once



Kapela Thyla z anglického města Brighton má tento týden novinku v podobě EP. Debutový singl jinak vyšel v roce 2017 v květnu pod názvem Ferris Wheels, poté následoval v témže roce Pristine Dream a Tell Each Other Lies. Před rokem bylo venku první EP What's on Your Mind s pěti skladbami a zde je tu tedy další Everything At Once. To obsahuje opět příjemné indie dream popové skladby s vokálem Millie Duthie: Two Sense, Lenox Hill, December, Everything.






(EP - THYLA)

2) My Bus - Elvis and Me (Joe Cassidy (Butterfly Child) + Gary McKendry (Papa Sprain)



My Bus are Joe Cassidy and Gary McKendry. As Butterfly Child and Papa Sprain respectively they were restless parallel adventurers in the early days of UK dream-pop. The released EPs for AR Kane’s label H.ark! and them for Rough Trade. They blazed radical trails for music, burned bright and then faded away. Now they have combined to form My Bus. Our Life In The Desert became is of the richest and most emotional dream-pop entities of any era. They combine Gary's love of dissonance and Joe's love of melody/composition. It is a deeply nostalgic record born out of love and a friendship across decades. The lyrics range from direct to oblique as the music spans oceanic drift (Moon Tempo), full-on drama (Elvis and Me), simmering poptones (Tomorrow Will Be Ours) and the stirring, multi-faceted Goose Pimples Forever, rescued by the wonders of technology from an ancient disintegrating My Bus cassette. On the exquisite, haunting Angeles, spoken words matched to one of his more restful ambient pieces. "It's an idea of confusion and uncertainty," says Gary ("Our minds contemplating the paltry limits of the conditional to my mind thoughts are only for preparing an entrance and an exit"). Our Life In The Desert is released on Onomatopoeia Records, run by Nick Bourne, a Butterfly Child fan who had previously connected with Joe on Facebook, which "completes another circle," says Joe. Likewise, Gary and Joe's decision to donate proceeds from the album to a mental health charity. Proof, then, that even in a desert, life can flourish.

3) Michael’s Uncle – Nezměníš nic





Můžeš vykřikovat, že se nezměníš, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic
Dokola volat, že chceš změnit svět, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic
Můžeš chtít stokrát vopakovat, všechno možný do lidí pumpovat
Na křídlech lásky po nebi surfovat, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic

Tak jako Jumbo Jet dosedne na zem, tak jako frajer s bombama za pasem

Můžeš vykřikovat, že se nezměníš, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic
Dokola volat, že chceš změnit svět, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic
Na křídlech lásky po nebi surfovat, s peklem druhejch hrdinně bojovat
Přestaň prudit, běž se radši schovat, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic
Nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic
Můžeš vykřikovat, že chceš změnit svět, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic
Na křídlech lásky po nebi surfovat, nasládlý sračky do lidí pumpovat
Zas a znova stokrát vopakovat, s peklem druhejch hrdinně bojovat
Demonstrativně kolabovat, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic

Tak jako Jumbo Jet dosedne na zem, tak jako frajer s bombama za pasem
Tak jako Jumbo, než dopadne na zem, tak jako frajer s červenym vocasem

Můžeš vykřikovat, že se nezměníš, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic
Dokola volat, že chceš změnit svět, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic
Můžeš zkoušet stokrát vopakovat, demonstrativně kolabovat
Na křídlech lásky po nebi surfovat, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic
Nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic
Nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic, nezměníš sebe, nezměníš nic!

4) Toodles & the Hectic Pity - Ghosts, Guilt & Grandparents



Toodles and The Hectic Pity are a beloved folk-infused punk band from Bristol who have been making music together through the first half of their 20’s. Toodles write snappy, percussive punk songs with rich vocal melodies. Their lyrics are crafted with subtle literary hints and playful turns of phrase, tucking existential themes into catchy refrains that cry for sing-a-long. Far from pretentious, their live show is full of contagious energy and enthusiasm. Lyrically, Ghost, Guilt and Grandparents is an exploration of loneliness, anxiety, and the nature of familial relationships through time. Despite handling heavy themes, the five song EP is uplifting, carrying you through irresistible, pop riffs and into the beautiful, long build intro of Mountain Man, the EP’s closing track.

5) I Break Horses - Death Engine



I Break Horses is the musical project led by Maria Lindén. From her Stockholm base, the Swedish artist delivered an extraordinary debut album in the shape of ‘Hearts’, released by Bella Union in August 2011.
Hey, it's been a while since the last album. Some of you might say it's taken ages, others might not have been giving it much thought at all. Time is a slippery bastard. However, I needed time to focus on what I really wanted. And that was to create the most intimate and sincere songs I felt I had in me. And I wanted to give them to you. So this one is for all of you out there who have ever shown your appreciation for my music. If you have ever expressed your love in any of the channels, have been part of the audience at one of our live shows, or ever downloaded one of my tracks to help you get through the day. I have been away for a while. But I was never really gone. And I will stay with you forever (facebook).
