Peel Dream Magazine (Usa)
Rose Main Reading Room, the fourth full-length record from Peel Dream Magazine, is a lush, inviting headphone record; the kind of album made to accompany city bus rides and rainy solo trips to random destinations. The band, whose name refers to BBC Radio 1 legend John Peel - arbiter of all things underground, quality and (it must be said) "cool" - has been a genre-hopping experiment since its inception, jumping from krautrock to shoegaze and space age pop, and their latest work is a perfect jumping-off point for the uninitiated, beckoning for a new romance and nostalgia with their most infectious collection of songs to date.
Death By Audio
Death By Audio offers a chilling ride through abandoned guitar landscapes, with a haunting and piercing sound that gets under your skin. The four-member Dutch band knows exactly how to strike the perfect balance between noise and melody in their post-rock and post-punk infused shoegaze. Their noisy, noisy love songs are full of autumnal melancholy, finding beauty in ambiguity and uncertainty.
