When Leeds band NIGHT OWLS released their debut EP 'INFORMALDEHYDE', they were slinging out raw and loud sounds of grunge. Things have musically appeared to make a slight turn as the group have now unveiled their new track titled 'Out Of My Head'. Opting for more of a dreamy shoegaze fronting, gone are the fast, fuzzy guitar riffs but rather mellow strums and easing vocals. Definitely promising with their new direction, 'Out Of My Head' is out now via Till Deaf Do us Party Records.

Having dropped a number of records over the past two years, Leeds band Colour of Spring return with another hazy shoegaze cut titled 'Echoes'. Taken from their self-titled EP landing April 21 on House of Love Records, the tune, stacked with fuzzy guitar riffs and the serene vocals of Shane Hunter, is perfectly fitting for a mellow summer day in the sun as the content revolves around stepping out of the blissful moments as a child and now transitioning into adulthood, and everything that comes with it.
Chilean trio Trementina will release their debut LP '810' on March 24 via Burger Records. One of the offerings taken from the upcoming album is the dreamy single 'Oh Child'. Taking the structure of floating shoegaze, pushed by tribal drum hits along with the lush vocals of singer Vanessa Cea, the music of Trementina is a soundtrack to their natural Chilean environment. Have a listen.
Twin Limb's sound has been described as everything ranging from dream pop, post-punk and dark folk, on down to psychedelic. Whilst many of those elements can indeed be found in their music, there is something 'other' about what they create. Self-releasing their debut EP 'Anything Is Possible And Nothing Makes Sense' back in late 2015, their original sound took a re-shaping with the adding of third member Kevin Ratterman (the band previously only consisted of Maryliz Bender and Lacey Guthrie). The record was packed with sweet melodies gliding head-on with hazy, gorgeous and sometimes haunting instrumentation. In a way, this was the perfect set-up to their full-length 'Haplo', which is the band's mastering of their elevating, gumbo mixture of genres.
Two years ago Australian band Bloodhounds On My Trail released their 'Escape' EP, which found the group emersed in the sound of hazy and echoing shoegaze. Now set to release their forthcoming 'Haunted Isles' EP, the Melbourne-based foursome have shared the first track taken from the record entitled 'Over The Wall'. Tapping into the feel of early 80s new wave and post-punk whilst still using their platform on shoegaze as an underneath, the band have found an excellent blend, which makes us eager to hear their upcoming release.
Many months back L.A.-based band The Raveonettes launched their 'RAVE-SOUND-OF-THE-MONTH' project in which the duo would unveil a new song every month until December. Revealing their ninth track of the series entitled 'This Is Where It Ends', the song is a breezing and mellow of contrast of fairy tale vocals, laced a cinematic, haunting and surreal backdrop.
With their new album 'Big Sparks' out this Friday, Belgium band Few Bits have shared a stream of the title track. Dreamy and melodic constructed with grand production without the unnecessary overkill, lead singer Karolien Van Ransbeeck provide a smooth sailing down a path of happiness with airy, angelic vocals.
Falling somewhere between shoegaze and post-punk is the latest track 'Light Rain' by NYC band Dinowalrus. Taken from their forthcoming LP 'Fairweather', the song is a mid-tempo, easing bit that slides progressively with catch hooks and epic build-ups, all graciously emitting a sound that is reminiscent of Manchester's musical glory days of the late 80s and early 90s. You can stream 'Light Rain' down below.
