Take Me To The Shadow

Formed in 2008, Blindness features Beth Rettig (vocals, programming, noise), Emma Quick (bass, noise), and Debbie Smith (guitar, feedback,noise), the latter being guitarist for 90’s bands Curve and Echobelly and, later, Snowpony.

Taking sonic tips from The Jesus and Mary Chain as well as My Bloody Valentine and with the hook sensibility of PJ Harvey, Blindness are a band with a machine gun etiquette, showing "exquisite warmth" in their "seductive dark wave electro pop." The songs on their forthcoming album ‘Wrapped In Plastic’ on Saint Marie Records will take you on an adrenaline fuelled, rollercoaster ride of beautiful chaos.

Pinkshinyultrablast
New single ‘Kiddy Pool Dreams’
Out on Club AC30 on October 2nd

“A quiet riot of ethereal vocals and lustrous guitars. Pinkshinyultrablast a valid insight into young modern Russia via the early-90s Thames Valley.” - Guardian 

“Beautifully toned, unconventionally fast, a gutsy effort that makes a big impression” - NME

“A complex but sumptuous confluence of mathy basslines and waves of melodic ecstasy.” - Q

“euphoric and latitudinous shoegaze” – Noisey

“equal parts shoegaze and electronic art pop” – Brooklyn Vegan



Hot on the success of their debut album ‘Everything Else Matters’ Pinkshinyultrablast, a five-piece band from Saint-Petersburg in Russia, are set to release a new single, ‘Kiddy Pool Dreams’ on 2nd October on Club AC30.
 
The band take their name from an Astrobrite album, an act who were, according to the band, instrumental in how they “researched spaces between ambient, heavy guitar and pop music” .The spaces are what stand out, the production creates a dream-like affair, while space to breathe and reflect on the beauty of the music is accommodated. There is sparseness to the album that in turn gives spaciousness, even expansiveness.

‘Kiddie Pool Dreams is indicative of a forthcoming album full of even more melodic gems and shimmering shoegaze - euphoric with spectral guitars, its sharp edged pop has a radiant charm. 

To celebrate the release of ‘Kiddy Pool Dreams’ the band will be embarking on a full UK tour on the dates below.

Pinkshinyultrablast are Igor - bass, Lyubov - vocals, Sergey - drums, Rustam - synths and electronics and Roman – guitars.

1st single from the "I Will Break U" EP on Cassette, Out Oct. 8th Cassette Store Day! Pre-order here -> https://tapedeckmountain.bandcamp.com/album/i-will-break-u-ep

Loopers of Bushwick

Shelflife is thrilled to announce Airiel's second full-length LP, Molten Young Lovers, coming out on double LP and digital formats on Oct 13, 2017. This album is the much-anticipated follow-up to 2012's Kid Games EP. 

"Cloudburst," the record's first single (which was released this past March), provides a clear insight into the record's magic. The huge chorus is carried by a vocal melody that stands out as the largest part, only complimented by the waves of cascading guitar. In fact, 'large' might be the best possible descriptor for Molten Young Lovers as a whole. The tracks on this LP have a larger-than-life quality, partly due to the crisp production. Kiss' drums are hard-hitting and clear, the guitars are enveloping and lush, and Blanton's basslines flesh out the walls of sound created by the rest of the band. Molten Young Lovers is an album that feels instantly seamless, but that doesn't prevent Airiel from covering a wide range of dynamic ground. Tracks like the opener, "This Is Permanent," and the final track, "The Painkillers," are uptempo songs carried by the unwavering rhythm section, while much of what's in-between--such as "Your Lips, My Mouth"--feel more reflective, without sacrificing any intensity. 

In a 2011 interview, Wrenn mentioned that to others, he often describes his music as, "It's really loud, it's pretty and you can dance to it." At first, this might sound like a description that could fit any number of bands. However, upon diving into Airiel's new album, you'll find it to be both an apt description and an inarguable truth. Molten Young Lovers is a record too loud, too big, and too beautiful to be ignored.

With you

Back in 2012 when MP3 blogs dominated the music discovery landscape, Tea Leigh and Luke Reed pumped out a series of beautifully lush dream-pop singles. The songs were extremely popular on the internet and widely shared on Soundcloud and YouTube. Eventually, they stopped releasing music and went about in separate directions.

Tea became a sought after tattoo artist, who now owns Welcome Home, an all female tattoo shop in Brooklyn, and Luke spent years playing in the now defunct Bent Shapes, and Joy Void’s latest signing, Mini Dresses. He also of course released a solo record earlier this year, with plans for another in 2018.

Now, after many dormant years, Tea Leigh and Luke Reed are back with a new single, “Underwater.” It’s a sleepy affair, and one continues right where they left off years ago.

Away Forward was conceived as an idea for a new band in 2016, inspired by the band members
love of all things dream like, reverb, delay, fuzz, layered sounds, and melody. The band consists
of lead vocalist Lisa Nighswander, bassist Greg Chambers, guitarist/lyricist Andrew McAllister, and
drummer Paul Boddum. They originally met back in 1994 when their former groups Mean Red
Spiders and NECK gigged and shared a rehearsal space together at the dawning of Toronto’s
soon-to-be internationally recognized indie scene.

Time Stands Still

"Fusing vintage American indie rock with shoegaze tapestries, the band's blissed out style forever verges on the edge of raucous collapse" – Clash Music

“Recalling the wild but awesome fuzz- and feedback-driven noise channeled through the likes of Swervedriver and Jesus & Mary Chain, Southampton’s Burning House produces a fine slice of heavy shoegaze bliss with a talent at walking a fine line between melodicism and an ear-wrenching wall of sound” – Louder Than War
