Cherrycolacrush written by doused. Listen to this release. Engineered by Vince Duong and Mike Wolfe Mixed and Mastered by Mike Wolfe Trees & Flowers written by Strawberry Switchblade Engineered and mixed by Simon Ogilvie Mastered by Mike Wolfe Bass by Gavin Morgan Artwork and layout by Emma Hansson Doused is: Vincent Duong, Emma Hansson & Mike Wolfe "Lathe Cut Records are made one-at-a-time, in real time, by a real person using an experimental process and 70 year old technology. It is not a pressed record and may have slightly more surface noise or an occasional light distortion in some frequencies, and may sound somewhat different than the original master. The volume will also be a little lower than a modern “post-loudness-war” record, so pump up the volume. It won’t be audiophile, but it ought to be listenable and sound pretty good considering the circumstances of its’ birth. It might also require tonearm and anti-skate adjustment in order to track correctly due to the hard plastic having slightly shallower grooves than a traditional record."

2) Holy Ship - Sun Macabre 

 

 

 News from Stockholm, Sweden psychedelic indie-rock (Jonatan Westh)

 releases October 21, 2022 

HOLY SHIP is Stockholm based Jonatan Westh, formerly of late 00's shoegazers BLACKSTRAP (SWE). After BLACKSTRAP disintegrated by 2013 developing into various sonic particles (I BREAK HORSES, THE HEART OF THE SUN) Westh regrouped with building his own studio, Pink House Studios in Stockholm.

3) Velveteen - If You Could

 

 

 New single from London shoegaze band... 

 Album Empty Crush released 18/11/2022 

Drew Younger - Guitars/Vox 

Sam Alattar - Guitars 

Patrick Malins - Bass 

James Nolan - Drums/Vox 

Starting out as a side project in a top floor London flat, Velveteen quickly grew into something much more. Over time, the band developed a sound that's as much a love letter to their inspirations as it is their own. Shoegaze influences come to the fore and, beneath that, elements of post-punk, dream pop and noise rock challenge for attention. "Empty Crush" is the culmination of a passion well-lived, notwithstanding a sizeable amount of procrastination. As the band's debut EP once said, it's now yours to enjoy.

Singles of the Week (41//22)

1) Varlots - Nuchal

 

 New single from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania blackgaze indie-rock band... 

Sometime in 2020, there was a point where I was revisiting hospital records involving my nuchal birth before being adopted and becoming an American citizen. Most nuchal births, where an infant is strangulated by the umbilical cord, are harmless. The first few months of my life were spent in a hospital as this was the one out of ten chances it was harmful to an infant. At the time of revisiting this event as an adult, I suffered a mental break from reality where I was hallucinating people were following me in order to hang me with a noose. Felt like a strange way to come back to these events in a way that was just as unpleasant as the first. The spoken word element was a recollection of a dream I had the preceding year. - Stephen Edwards

 News from Driffield, UK indie-rock band...

Singles of the Week (40//22)

1) Suave Punk - Apathy Patrol 

 

 News from indie rock Orange, California project Justin Kim... Self confidence is a dubious thing. As far as I can remember, humiliation was and still is one of my greatest fears. I define humiliation not only as feelings of embarrassment but as the visceral, ugly, and destructive force that plunges one into the darkest of feedback loops. Everyone, I believe, to some extent are aware of the repercussions of humiliation as it means that you have been subject to utter rejection from society and alienation from those you see as your own. As hard as I try to find hope in my future and acceptance from my world, I find myself constantly second guessing myself in everything I do and create: many times unwarranted. I am not the heir of elites. I am not a member of academia. I am not a natural careerist. Who am I to speak at all? I am a nobody, how dare I? The most dangerous aspect of this kind of thinking are not the thoughts themselves, but the subsequent loss of feeling altogether: apathy in its purest sense. Quite honestly these thoughts are swirling in my head every day, some days more violently than others. I fear this greatly as the only things which offer any metric for introspection are those same emotional faculties which both inflict pain or bring joy. Without any of these, your humanity is in question. Apathy Patrol is my attempt at reminding myself of this. I know the road to accepting myself is far and expansive and sometimes I wonder if there is even a destination at all. Though it's in my own nature to double-think and second guess my own value, I can’t allow myself to fall into the dulling lull of apathy. In the very end it's a practice not just an ideal and I’m willing to accept that at least.
