Black Box - Ride on Time

[link]
I love the exuberance of Italo house.  Great stuff.

Two voices that by themselves create atmosphere

(and in the same atmospheric direction, i.e. dread)

Slowdive - When the Sun Hits

[link] Which leads us to this classic. Goes from quiet slowgaze into really deeply digging near-dreadnaught gaze.

Slowdive - Crazy For You

[link] Very atmospheric.  Quiet-gaze even. Slowdive covers this parameter space of Shoegaze very well.  Linked in Youtube from the Ride video in the previous post.

Ride - Like a Daydream

Let's get back to some Shoegaze. On the poppy end of Shoegaze with some jangly guitar work.

been a while

Had to take a break.  Things are OK but work and life got too busy.  They are still too busy but I will try to post at least sporadically.
Here's a new one from Cheatahs
The chorusy vocals I guess are a signature of theirs.  But not my favorite...

Above the Vines - Glasswort

Here is a recent practice version of this song.

Here are the lyrics.
white stones
some kind of rubble piled over there
a river washed out a bridge
back in the day
when you weren’t here

among the ruins
fertile soil for your fingernails
every kind of seed
will grow for you

farm skin
not as dark as the soil
that’s as dark as your hair
you mostly keep to this down
city dreams are off somewhere
where school friends
glided to when you said good bye
in their cubicles
no one can see them cry

platform good byes
museum cafe smiles
liquid crystal skies

two winter melons
fit on your scooter back to town
a good day’s harvest
for grandma’s soup
on these trellises
hang a bounty that provides
a simple thing
don’t have to - there is no why

and they speed by
never surprised
above the vines
across your eyes

platform good byes
museum cafe smiles
liquid crystal skies

and they speed by
never surprised
above the vines
across your eyes
