Faith Crisis Pt 1

Your Side Interlude

Lightheaded's urgent, thrillingly fresh take on 60s/80s indiepop shines brightly on their debut album "Combustible Gems" and perhaps nowhere more so than on their new single "Bright Happy Girls." What starts as 60s folk/garage pop of the Teenage Shutdown persuasion dissolves into a tumbling, almost chaotic rush of guitars and vocals that go in and out of harmony. The overall effect strongly evokes the wild flush of secret crushes and new loves, the giddy optimism and delicious confusion.

Have Some Shame

Don't Let Your Love (Let You Down)

“you could close your eyes and be pelting through the stars… Slowdive with a Neil Halstead like lead vocals… There are hints of Ride too… Moon Cowboy have done ever so well here”

This early review caught what I wanted “baby jane” to sound like so well - a quintessential shoegaze summer anthem. If the last single “beehive” was me experimenting with some electronica, “baby jane” is all about going back to that 14 year old listening to Ride’s Nowhere for the first time and realizing an electric guitar and a great melody could change someone’s world. It sure did change mine.

If you like my work, I would love to connect and hear from you - other bands you're listening to, your story or just say hi. Reach out on social media or send me a direct message.

Little Sigh

Big Sigh (Acoustic)

“There was a rumor going around about a live-action Power Puff Girls series being made by Diablo Cody. It was going to be set in the future and have them portrayed as adults looking back on their lives as crime-fighting little girls who missed out on being kids. I grew up in the ‘90s and PPG was one of my favorite cartoons, so I was really excited about this. One day Emile [Milgrim] and I were talking about how cool it would be to write the theme song for the show, so 'Would Be' was the result of that. 

It took about 20 minutes to write. At the time I felt like my best years were flying away before my eyes and I used that as inspiration for what it might feel like to be an aging ex-superhero.” – Ale Campos
