If you’ve been missing The Daysleepers since the cruel taunt that was ‘Dream Within A Dreamworld’ 3 years ago, word on the street is that they’re releasing an honest-to-goodness album this year. Take it from DKFM.
I am yet to see news of said album out in the wild, so forgive me if I don’t hold my breath.
2017 has been kind in other ways, however. Shoegaze superpower, Russia, has given us what is NOT a cheap imitation of the Daysleepers BUT RATHER a worthwhile adversary.
Encounters by Life on Venus is one of the most authentic shoegaze albums to have come out this year.
And how fortuitously do they just happen to hark back to the days of ‘Drowned in a Sea of Sound’ and ‘Hide Your Eyes’
Listen to ‘There Will Be Blood’ and tell me it’s not ‘Run’ and ‘Stars On Fire’ having a session in the sheets.
Pick up Encounters here. It’s pay what you want, but it’s always nice if you pay a little for it.
