Shoegazer Sunday: Dreamend’s “Magnesium Light”

Sunday, July 22nd, 2012

I liked last week’s dose of Dreamend so much that I’ve been trolling through their various YouTube offerings, including this offering, which sounds less Shoegazer than some sort of demented bluegrass by way of Neutral Milk Hotel, with maybe a soupcon of Jane’s Addiction thrown in for good measure.

Oh, the video is plenty strange too, which is always a plus.

Shoegazer Sunday: Dreamend’s “New Zealand”

Sunday, July 15th, 2012

The long guitar intro to this song sounds so much like that from A Beautiful Machine that I had to check and make sure it wasn’t the same guy. No, the band consists of Ryan Graveface, who’s also the guitarist for Black Moth Super Rainbow. No only did Andrew really like them at Psychfest, but he’s been communicating with Graveface (who has his own record label), and says he’s a swell guy, which is good enough for me.

“New Zealand” is long, noodly, a bit self-indulgent, and very pretty.
