I am in the club of having seen them before the Pumpkins. I have to say I enjoyed them more than Bily Corgan and prosthetic band. They were into it. Billy looked like he didn't give a shit. He gave a half-hearted performance and avoided most of the big songs. He didn't play anything from the most recent two albums and album tracks from older stuff. No Today, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, 1979, 33, zero, disarm.....
It's a pretty cool opening, but the rest of the song is ehh. It doesn't help that she sounds exactly like Bilinda Butcher. I'd stick with Deerhunter, A Place To Bury Strangers, Boris and Autolux for new shoegaze.
@ShopliftersUnite Not just any old shoegaze it's a complete rip of "Soon" by MBV! Not that it is a bad thing. About time we had some decent shoegazing.
@ jedf666 This is just absurd You want them to be MBV too much . Jezus Howemany shoegaze bands are there? The ones I know would need a MUCH longer comment box , And that is using abbreviations ! Someone is BOUND to get inspiration from another band... Let the band have it's own identity . Instead of calling them a clone .
What an ass-holes the ones who say this band is a copy of MBV... of course they sound like them!! they are playing shoegaze !!! Do the Ozric Tenacles or Dead Meadow pretend to be Pink Floyd only for doing some psyco rock???
Stop saying bullshit and enjoy this beautiful sound
and to be fair if youre making a 'shoegaze' record surely part of that particular genre code is obviously to have the same elements the rest of the bands used?
does it really matter if it sounds like MBV?? i never listened to any shoegaze stuff in the 90s im just glad people are making it now ... surely its a good thing?? half the ppl listening now wouldve been toddlers first time round :)
@wazzupcrap Dear Mr. Shoegaze authority, watch the MBV's "Soon" video and tell me that scene with the girl dancing in the kitchen isn't ripped right out of that video. If they were not being deliberate, they would have picked a better location.
I get you on the Curve thing. I just wanted a chance to mention her name ;-) I strongly recommend the 'Public Fruit' compilation.It is a collection of the pre-Doppelganger EP, which I think is their best work. After the first album they went a bit to beepy electronic for me. I am desperate tosee what a show these guys put on when they come back to Madrid....
The goddess from Curve is Toni Halliday. I like this band because they remind me of My Bloody Valentine.I especially love the album track: Day Dreamy. I am not sure I get the similarity with Curve,though...
@mathew1t The MBV totally jumped out at me at first (especially the Kevis Shields guitar sound), but I started to hear a tad of Toni Halliday. (at least from the Doppleganger album (the only one I'm really familiar with)). They do it well, no doubt.
My Bloody Valentine copy it is.

no surprises. but quite every "artistic" element here is just similar to the original shoegaze bands.
