Cosmic Radio Station, by The Shifting Sands

Cosmic Radio Station

by The Shifting Sands

supported by

Michael Reilly Another excellent slice of jangle pop goodness from our neighbours across the ditch. The Shifting Sands alt-pop sound is invitingly luscious and texturally rich, consisting of superb fuzzed melodies that happily soothe and excite. Favorite track: Should Be Better.

about

The music on The Shifting Sands 2nd album “Cosmic Radio Station” has been praised as “…multi-faceted guitar pop channeling New Zealand’s ‘80s Flying Nun sound…” by Uncut magazine while Brooklyn Vegan say “It’s a record of gorgeous guitar pop that owes some to Dunedin’s indie rock heritage — The Clean’s David Kilgour plays guitar on the album — but forges its own path.”

Some Kind Of Eden
by Dear Time's Waste

Everything Claire Duncan does as the ever-morphing Dear Time's Waste has been remarkable - melodic, unsettling dream-pop with a novelist's eye for detail. Fishrider Records

Fazerdaze EP
by Fazerdaze

This EP from Fazerdaze (Amelia Murray) is unfussy DIY indie-pop perfection. Part pure melodic pop, part beautiful weary existential sigh with a hint of early Jesus & Mary Chain, fuzz & reverb tamed. Fishrider Records

Mother Of Gloom
by Emily Fairlight

A glorious album of dark alternative country-folk. Fairlight’s ageless voice simultaneously beautiful and terrifying, possessed of a resonant vibrato and smooth and tough as weathered teak. Fishrider Records

Floristry

Guitars float on the shoreline of youth, one hand holding the delight, one hand holding the torment. ‘Baltimore’, ‘Delphine’, ‘Vesper II’, ‘Days Of Being Wild’, magical lo-fi Pop beauties shoot through the sky like Mordecai and Margaret chasing shooting stars on their Vespas, and when they are out of sight you’ll be reaching for the play button faster than Burroughs reaching for his stash.
