All along its short history, the first shoegaze wave has allways been a story of noisy organized mess &amp; dreamy soundscapes. But when G.B.'s Flying Saucer Attack issued this record in 1993, they definitely pushed the whole genre one step further making of this s/t one ofthe ultimate shoegaze records in my (very) own opinion.

The resultsof the band's very lo-fi production sounds really great on their unique mix of 80's British Noise Pop, 60's Psychedelic pop roots, Space Rock, and early 90's way of building monolithic yet sweet walls of sound.

Think about My Bloody Valentine meeting Loop on the same record, with an even harsher sound, some tribal moments and a few Drones.

artist - the fauns
track - sun is cruising
remix  - redg weeks 'closed my eyes' re-work

The Fauns originally released a version of 'Sun Is Crusing' in 2009 - the band have since been signed to Invada for their 2nd album due for release early summer 2012. 
This mix has recently been re-worked & re-edited by Redg Weeks. 

RW - ' i absolutely love the original and i wanted to keep the general feel of the track the same but to extenuate the drones and bring a more dubbed out lo-fi vibe to the song '

The band have been compared to legends such as MBV / Slowdive / Lush / Telescopes / early Creation Recordings etc mixed with modern bands such as M83.

Andy Cook's new EP, "Modern Man," out now via Good Eye Records ~ http://smarturl.it/modern-man

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What’s a man, anyway? It’s the central question at the heart of Minnesota-based songwriter Andy Cook’s new EP "Modern Man"—a 22-minute indie-rock/Americana ride that stokes twinges of nostalgia with jangly guitars, articulate synth lines and driving percussion.

The EP follows Cook digging into life in this hyper-digital age as the music harkens back to classic American songwriters. "Modern Man" takes a hard look at the present in its lyric-driven, sonically-rich landscape. “We’re living in a wicked world, where nobody believes anything they’ve heard…just a picture of a pretty face, with lonely eyes and a made-up grace,” we hear over a bouncing guitar line in the lead track “Swirl”—a song reminiscent of Real Estate or Kurt Vile, and that oscillates between pessimism of social media-curated life and optimism that we can be happy in our own shoes.

These observations are less criticism than they are experience, from the point of view of an artist who is finding his own voice and a comfort in presenting this music without trying to be something he’s not. Cook has long felt like someone who almost fits in, but not quite—stuck between who he wants to be, the pressures and images surrounding us daily, and the desire to be “in” while still being individual.

“These songs might mean something totally different to listeners than they do to me - but they mean something, and that’s what matters most,” Cook says. In this way, "Modern Man" is at once personal and made for peers in modern society. “I’m writing about experiences we live every day. There’s a kid inside of us and a mirror in front, and we need to ask them both questions if we’re going to figure out who we want to be.” After all, what’s a man, anyway?

"Modern Man" is out now and is the fifth release from Good Eye Records.

Melbourne's Ali E is a solo singer/songwriter who in 2012 released her beautiful and understated debut album 'Landless'. Her musical career spans many years. While being involved in bands such as Little Athletics, Heavy Beach and Damn Terran, her desire to cultivate her solo project grew into her debut LP. Her live show has transformed from a solo performer into a veritable super group of members from various Melbourne bands. Ali was honoured when at the end of 2012 saw 'Landless' nominated in the Coopers Australian Music Prize for Best Album. 

"Landless feels as if you're sitting on the window ledge at your parents house watching that unbelievably cool girl next door lay down some raw tracks in her garage"
Allie Voyage - VERI.LIVE

"She brings together the best of shoegaze, soul and alt-rock and adds her own unique twist to it."

Michael Grellman created Nova Drones in 2010 as a solo project while living in Eugene, Oregon. His first, S/T EP was recorded in his makeshift home studio, The Hobo Lounge (named after it’s hobo spider residents). Since then, Grellman has moved to Los Angeles where the majority of A Kiss of Bliss was recorded.

'Bliss is a departure from the acoustic, bedroom sounds of his earlier S/T EP. Grellman's sound has evolved into a louder, glossier, shoegaze-drone inspired by Creation Records’ early 90’s catalog.  The dreamy, hypnotic swells that drift throughout 'Bliss also call to mind shoegaze forefathers Loop and Spacemen 3.

Nova Drones’ latest is composed of four tracks written, recorded, and performed almost entirely by Michael himself. The EP is an authentic vision of Grellman's past few years presented through a wall of distortion and soaked in an ocean of reverb.  These four tracks are a haunting confession in the form of a sonic portrait of Grellman's struggles through some of the darker moments of his past few years.

Listen to it, devour it & allow your ears to bleed all over it... 

 - Love, 
      Grellman & his Nova Drones
