Two Reviewz

We've got two reviews in this week.

We'll start with another Last Pop Song review, this time with Ceremony.

The Last Pop Song

CEREMONY "DISAPPEAR"
In Washington it rains new publications! Like yesterday, already announced, here the second current release from the house of Safranin: Ceremony! Nearly one would like to say FINITE, we already longed for the official CD debut had waited. The release after their first CDR did
not publish that surprised at all now with Safranin landed, fits it nevertheless marvelously into the repertoire of the Shoegaze/Noisepop label of the former Alcian Blue musicians. Ceremony celebrate a spacigen, gitarrenlastigen Electronica sound close The Jesus and Mary chain, MBV and new order. Class and absolute worhty recommendation!


And a review for SVI's The Midnight Sun came in from Italy.

THE MIDNIGHT SUN EP
After several listenings all I can say is that this 5 tracks EP is a little monster of 90's psychedelia and synth-driven kraut'n'roll with vocals reminiscent of 80's synthpop. The duo (E*lectra Blue* and J. Sequential) spawn their sonic assault with guitars and electronic devices through those hellish Death By Audio pedals and effects (created by Oliver Ackerman - ex-Skywave now with A Place To Bury Strangers). This ep is out on the great Safranin Sound label - property of Alcian Blue and among the labels supporting the new shoegaze/nu-gaze scene. I bet SVI play a killer liveset and surely would be a perfect dj-choice for demanding dancefloors. All you could
ask for in a record.

Chaser Single Review

We got a Screen Vinyl Image review of the new single Chaser this week. This is from a German Blog so we did our best to translate over. Stay tuned for a Ceremony review in the coming days.

The Last Pop Song

Here there are new legal drugs for all those, who mourn the dissolution of the Noisepop/Shoegazer band Alcian Blue still. The class follow-up band "Screen Vinyl Image" beginning this year and may do now the last Pop Song the named-giving Song of the current EP had already published a mad EP (The Midnight Sun EP). "Chaser" is offered for the free Download.

The direction is correct: A deeply cool mixture from Psychedelica, Shoegaze, a little herb and much retro,surrealist SciFi aesthetics in the occurrence. Thank you to the really nice and good label Safranin, on which we had already reported in other reviews. Oh, tomorrow follows here still which new from the Portfolio of the label. Up til then!

October 16 Releases

3 Smoking Releases are coming your way this October! We'll have them up on the order page soon. Until then, swing over to their myspace pages.

Ceremony "Disappear"
The second full length from Fredericksburg noise makers Ceremony. 11 storming tracks of electronic beats, flesh-ripping guitars, and ear-splitting feedback in perfect pop song after perfect pop song! This is one full length you'll be hitting repeat on all autumn.



The Vandelles EP
Not THE debut for this NY surf/beat/noir wall-of-noise band, but Safranin's debut of them since signing, and you won't regret it. 5 skull crushing songs of fuzz vs fuzz guitars, tidal wave bass, and tsunami style drumming.



Screen Vinyl Image "Chaser Single"
Brand new single from Screen Vinyl Image from their upcoming EP in the works. Chaser is sex at 90mph on a pitch black road. Features a slew of live recordings from their summer shows and has a custom fold-out silkscreened poster for your wall... supercharged of course.
