Fleeting Joys - Kiss A Girl In Black

plastic yard

everything will be fine
every night and every time
if youre haunted by the light
youll be haunted by the night

Wandering through a field of dreams
Wondering what it truly means
Will you reach up and touch the sky
Or will you wait till you ready to die
There is no poison in the stream
Only lights of emerald green

sky / haunted by the night [demo]

A Shoegaze renaissance classic, first time on vinyl.

The shoegaze renaissance classic The Millia Pink And Green EP by Sway has influenced many a modern musician, shoegazer and non-shoegazer alike. Now, Saint Marie Records gives it the long awaited vinyl treatment. The record now weighs a bit more, thanks to the bonus track ‘Channel’ and its 180gm Coke bottle green transparent vinyl.

Sway began making noise in 1999, in Ventura, California. At the time, they were a four-piece garage rock outfit consisting of Andrew Saks, Amber Carlson, Seth Eubanks, and Vince Alatorre, playing shows and confusing audiences up and down the West Coast with its blurry wall of sound. They’re most known for the shoegaze renaissance classic The Millia Pink And Green EP released in 2003.

Andrew’s songwriting and sonic ideals are deeply rooted in the music he was surrounded by while coming of age: late ‘70s and ‘80s pop music.  Falling asleep nightly while listening to 1980s pop and R&B, and then waking up late at night in a dark dreamlike haze with New Order, Swing Out Sister, Talking Heads, Pet Shop Boys, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam whispering through his Walkman’s headphones, the sonic memory of such experiences keep Sway from ever giving itself over fully to the traditional shoegaze elements. The quest to recreate these musical properties is what later led Sway to embrace and be further influenced by the blissful textures of dreampop visionaries such as The Cocteau Twins, Medicine, and My Bloody Valentine.

In 2011, This Was Tomorrow was released by Saint Marie Records.  It was Sway’s first full-length release and its last.

lyrics

is that all that you want me to be
my hands digging into my knees
its no wonder why suicide
is another way, to kill your dignity and smile

isn't it unwound
suddenly found love
hiding in the dark
hold open the front door
it's not so different
it's not so different now
it's not my life
you cut that wedding cake up

is that all that you want me to be
my hands digging into my knees

i think i've been too withdrawn
but maybe you're the only one
no wonder why
your open eyes
are another way
to kill your dignity and smile

isn't it unwound
suddenly found love
hiding in the dark
hold open the front door
it's not so different
it's not so different now
it's not my life
you cut that wedding cake up

is that all that you want me to be
my hands digging into my knees

GRAVE092 ::: Whirr 'Around'

Click here to order: http://www.graveface.com/graveface-catalog.html

With their two albums to date, Bay Area six-piece Whirr have developed a reputation for dirgeful shoegaze, buttressed with textured layers or guitar and weighty, driving compositions. Spacious and moody, their 2012 LP Pipe Dream drew comparisons to heavyweights of the genre My Bloody Valentine, Ride and Slowdive.

Now, Whirr returns with Around, a mini-LP that finds the group restrained, but no less dark. Here, they explore longer songs, with their shortest clocking in at just under six minutes. Catchy melodies, traditionally a part of the band’s wheelhouse, give way here to a droning ambience, shifting Whirr slightly from their shoegaze core toward  a dour post-rock sound. Vocalists Kristina Esfandiari and Loren Rivera keep their contributions misty and abstract, serving here as additional instruments more than messengers. But the thunderous drums and lavish guitar work remain — albeit in a colder, glassier form — making Around both a departure and a logical step forward from Whirr’s previous work.
