Star Horse – “Crush”

October 30, 2012 at 6:07 pm

Star Horse

The shoegaze band Star Horse released their debut EP “Crush” in the beginning of the month. It’s a quite pleasant experience with dreamy, light shoegaze, massive layered guitars and a relatively small sound, on the border to lo-fi. I get impressions of humility, joy of music and a charming ingenuousness in the beautiful melodies. Listen for yourself here below in the beautiful PLS (Song For Rico) about a lost and missed friend.

I Am Super Ape

I Am Super Ape, hailing from Malmö, released their second EP during the Autumn. Apparently they are working on their third EP now, which is scheduled for release in December. They serve a cool, rather raw shoegaze with psychadelia vibes, punky and with some vibes of Sonic Youth. Here’s one of the tracks from the EP.

Principe Valiente

Principe Valiente

Recently the self titled debut album from Principe Valiente was reissued, which was an excellent occasion to present the band here on Meadowmusic, I thought. They have created a characteristic sound where I hear shoegaze with a lot of vibes from the eighties’ reverbing rooms and dark atmosphere from what some call post punk. Sometimes the thoughts irrevocably goes to Sisters of Mercy, maybe mostly because of the vocals than anything else.

Listen for yourself here below, and take a look at their Bandcamp page or Spotify to listen to the whole album. You’ll find the the band on their site and on Facebook.

As a first taste of  the album they are releasing the two-track single “Girl, I Love Yo”, where you can listen to the title track here below. One of their best songs so far I think.

First Love, Last Rites

First Love, Last RitesMassive guitars and shoegaze is what hits me as I listen to First Love, Last Rites’ debut album, which was released at the start of this year. And through this big sound trickle smooth melodies and harmonies, resulting in a dreamy feeling. To me, the best track is “I’m Gone”, which you can listen to here below.

The album is available on Spotify and also on Nomethod Records. You can meet First Love, Last Rites on Facebook.
