The War On Drugs - Red Eyes

CLAIRECORDS ARTISTS SCIFLYER’S LONG-AWAITED THIRD RELEASE, THEY ONLY BELIEVE IN THE MOON, OUT NOW
File Under: Shoegaze, indie pop, dream pop
 
You may or may not have seen or heard suggestions that shoegaze is back with burgeoning vigor --not that it ever really went anywhere in the first place. Still, there’s no time like the right time to welcome the Alameda, CA-based Sciflyer back from an eight-year hiatus, and its third Clairecords release, They Only Believe in the Moon, from their hands to yours.
 
A long and uncomfortable silence followed the release of the band’s last effort, The Age of Lovely, Intimate Things, in 2005. John D. Luerssen, writing for AllMusic, praised Sciflyer for “maintaining a uniqueness that sets it apart from the Ride and Swervedriver worshipers that have scattered the alternative music landscape since the early '90s.”
 
Singer and guitarist Steve Kennedy, bassist Kim Oberly and drummer Scott Eberhardt broke ground on the album after their inaugural SXSW showcase in 2006, but a series of unexpected setbacks forced the band to shelve it indefinitely. Now, after an eon of stasis, things are looking up.  Kennedy identifies the Beach Boys’ SMiLE Sessions as a major catalyst for the album’s creation and completion. 
 
“I realized that Moon was my SMiLE,” recalls, “It was gonna gnaw away at me until I finished those recordings and assembled the album.”
 
Kennedy has always maintained that Sciflyer’s shoegaze-hued dream-pop creations originate “somewhere in the ether,” an apt descriptor as they slip the surly bonds of earth. After all, they only believe in the moon. You will, too. 

Creator

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.

Blast Off Through the Wicker documents Art Feynman looking for life in the lifeless, questioning what it means to be living.  There is a calm, disciplined pocket to be felt in everything Feynman does; krautrock slink, staccato bounce, and pentatonic bursts of Nigerian Highlife fuzz pour on the temporal canvas with unquestionable ease, never falling in the wrong place. Even more admirable is, that his “canvas” is a four-track tape recorder, and that Blast Off features no loops or drum machines despite its aesthetically faithful motorik and afrobeat underpinnings.  Nowhere is this fact more surprising than on album standout “Slow Down” which pulses along infectiously with a crunchy backbeat, and deftly arpeggiating bass lines that are so locked-in that it would be hard to fault an unknowing ear for assuming the whole thing is tediously programmed.

There are gentler sides to Blast Off that conjure the spacey tenderness of Arthur Russell inventively and respectfully, without adopting their muse’s palette wholesale. In this regard Blast Off is an endearing collection of songs that capture the ear with warm-yet-clear cassette aesthetics and spot-on musicianship, both of which form an angle that points lovingly to Feynman’s deep and varied influences. Make no mistake-- this one truly is alive.
