More new music- there's lots of new music around at the moment isn't there? A good thing, keeps us on our toes. This is the new one from Kid Wave, a group a lot of us round here fell for back in 2015 with their Wanderlust album. Everything Changes is all warmth- fuzzy guitars, a chiming lead and slow motion vocals. Shoegaze but with focus.
Reunited Oxfordians Ride have put out two new tracks. The first one, Charm Assault, was alright I felt but a bit too brash. It was followed by Home Is A Feeling, a sprawling FX pedal piece of work which lets you swim in it and also sounds like it could have been recorded in the Thames Valley in the summer of 1992, fringes and love beads.
But Kid Wave take the lead I think.
Two good 'uns SA. The new Slowdive tune fits in with this vibe too.
ReplyDeleteTotally, a good 1-2-3
ReplyDeleteThere is quite a lot of good to great new music coming out in these early weeks of 2017. Ride, Slowdive, The Feelies, Priests, Communions, Edgy Point....puts a smile on your face....
ReplyDeleteI really like Kid Wave, a bit concerned by the new emphasis on Lea Emmery and the photo on the band's page tho'.

ReplyDeleteI just hate that I haven't the time to keep up with it. Not just some of it, any of it.
