Not Right Now

Songwriter Blaine Patrick has once again teamed up with vocalist Inna Kurikova to form a new duo called Dissolve (formerly known as Modern Charms). The San Francisco pair are starting the year with a three track EP. ‘Statement’ is a beautiful piece of melodic shoegaze – highly recommended! Updates @ https://www.facebook.com/dissolvemusic.

Dissolve - Statement

SF Bay Area textural pop group Torrey delve deep into a translucent dreamworld on their self-titled sophomore album. Bending classic shoegaze, rainy day indie rock sounds, and 90s alt rock flair into more intricate forms, the band uses these guitar-forward songs to shape-shift between gentle drifting and noisy breakthroughs. Some touchstones might include Lush, Drop Nineteens, Cocteau Twins and The Breeders, but Torrey have a deft grasp of their craft and a forward-thinking studio approach that places them very much in the NOW. Singles like "No Matter How," "Bounce" and "Moving" are pure 2024 and place Torrey firmly alongside like-minded groups like Seablite, Mo Dotti, Winter and Alvvays who are enlivening a similar set of inspirations.

It's fitting that Torrey's most masterfully crafted album is also their first for Slumberland. As the album plays out, it perfectly arranges contradictory expressions of angst and tenderness, exaltation and melancholy, restlessness and acceptance. These songs are obsession-worthy for any dream pop enthusiast, with Torrey managing to call on some
familiar spirits for guidance while sounding more like themselves than ever before.

Torrey - No Matter How

something in the rain

Telepathic vision

Beneath the veil where silence lies,
I hear your thought, though lips are still.
A mirror gleams behind the eyes,
An unseen current bends the will.

It is not just sixth feeling,
But an echo alive,
Not a higher revealing,
It’s the shadow that thrives.

Through the storm of minds we’re burning,
Hidden voices intertwine.
Entangled flame, forever yearning,
In your silence, I hear mine.

No chain of sound, no mortal tongue,
Yet soul to soul the bridges rise.
A timeless song is never sung,
But thunder speaks within the skies.

It is not just sixth feeling,
But a path to survive,
Not a crown of concealing,
It’s the river alive.

Through the storm of minds we’re burning,
Hidden voices intertwine.
Entangled flame, forever yearning,
In your silence, I hear mine.

No barrier of flesh,
No fortress of the bone,
Your heartbeat is the mesh,
Where my spirit is known!

Through the storm of minds we’re burning,
Hidden voices intertwine.
Entangled flame, forever yearning,
In your silence, I hear mine.

Boundless stream of thought unspoken,
Through the dark our spirits shine.
From beyond the five awaken,
In your silence, I hear mine.
