It's no secret that Australia has a burgeoning shoegaze scene. From within the burgeoning Melbourne shoegaze community, Bloodhounds On My Trail are set to release ‘Escape II’ internationally through UK-based label Raphalite Records. This deluxe edition of their debut EP ‘Escape’ will also feature additional tracks ‘She’s In My Plans’ and a remix of ‘Jolly’ by celebrated dreampop duo Ummagma.

'Jolly' is the first single off this EP. "Jolly is about having a good moment when you've been having a bit of a difficult time and wanting to not let it go to waste. Happy for people to enjoy our music and take what they want out of it. How it makes them feel. The message is in the ears of the listener," explains Bloodhounds guitarist Chris Donaldson. 

With a love of shoegaze bands of the late 1980s to early 90s, Bloodhounds On My Trail seek to fuse the rhythmic underpinnings of bands like the Velvet Underground and the Stooges with the infectious stylings of shoegaze luminaries such as Cocteau Twins and Slowdive. 

Since playing their first show in February 2014, the band has been blossoming through a whirlwind combination of live shows, festivals and recording sessions. Their music was met with positive reactions, encouraging press, and invitations to play with notable Australian artists such as Lowtide, Contrast, and White Walls.

Thanks to Tonedeaf and Gabe Lewis from Lowtide, one of the foremost shoegaze acts in Australia, Bloodhounds on My Trail began to be known as one of the best Aussie shoegaze acts around. "They sound like how I want my guitars to sound," Gabe explains. "Needless to say, I was immediately hooked. Really languid, cascading washes, and wearing their pastoral shoegaze influences on their sleeves.”

All of this prompted the band to formally commit their hazy tones to tape at Birdland Studios with renowned engineer Matt Hosking, who was the perfect match for the band - also being deeply immersed in shoegaze music and having a record of outstanding work with fellow shoegazers Lowtide, Contrast, Parading and Hideous Towns. This year has also seen the band gain momentum with appearances at local gaze festivals alongside Flyying Colours, Immigrant Union, Black Cab and Day Ravies.

"I hope for people to enjoy it and get a buzz off our tunes. We ain't preaching anything, just making music we find exciting and want to record and play live," says Johnny Green. 

Bloodhounds are Johnny Green (guitar, vocals), Chris Donaldson (guitar), Nik Donaldson (drums) and Ché Walden (bass). In 2014, Shoegazemania named 'Escape' the year's number 2 EP, which also ranked high in DKFM's top EPs of 2014. Both Custom Made Music and Terapija.net included ‘She’s In My Plans’ at #6 in their top songs of 2014.

"like a meeting point between Antony & The Johnsons and Explosions In The Sky... aloric bring with 'Grace' one of the most compelling songs of the year" ~Sound Injections

"The emotion sparking from this is enough to have the steeliest and most resolute of souls cowering and broken by its hurt...Devastating stuff" ~ TheSundayExperience

"an evolving composition; like wax dripping down the side of a candle, flowing from a warming melt to a hardened sculpture" ~Emerging Indie Bands

"building with drums, guitar and some truly stratospheric vocal notes; ‘Grace’ is a truly beautiful song" ~ Right Chord Music

LYRICS:
Verse 1:
Love like a child,
Let me in, oh let me in here, please.
You seem so young, naïve,
Hold me now, and worry on, my needs .

Verse 2:
Blood ties our lives,
Send me back, oh send me back, to seed.
I feel so Happy, Sad,
Sing a Song, oh sing a song, for me.

Chorus:
Go on and walk out,
Go on and walk out.
As you’re forever gone,
I was your Grace, but you never were.

Verse 3:
Once I Was a child,
Clouded by the innocence, of youth.
I sought an open mind,
Sailed the stars, and came upon the truth.
Sailed the stars, and came upon the truth.

Chorus 2:
Go on and walk out,
Go on and walk out.
As you’re forever gone,
I was your Grace.
Go on and walk out,
Go on and walk out.
As you’re forever gone,
I was your Grace, but you never...

Bridge:
Sing me songs, like a Troubadour,
Such a mess, but so adored.
In my ears, I’ll hear reels of lies,
And I’ll go blue, I’ll go blue –

Outro:
Alight, dear blues; here’s truce, with you.
Tonight, in lieu of you, I’ll bloom.
I’ll bloom...
