93millionmilesfromthesun - The Lonely Sea & The Sky (2017) EN

They call themselves "fans of good old shoegaze" (Slowdive, MBV, RIDE) who break stereotypes about traditional approach to music in Yorkshire society. But I'm not going to spoil it, the band's description on their FB page is reaaaally worth reading. The name is related, obviously, to the planet that orbits in the given distance from the Sun. To Earth. Poetic and not so obvious description of a thing so down-to-earth (yeah, pun intended) as our planet says a lot about the music created by the British.

Their new album is not really homogeneous. The band balances more peaceful tracks ("Feeling Lost") with some faster and more catchy ones (probably the album's best one "Without You Near"). Same goes for the music genre labels. 93millionmiles sound sometimes like thick, sticky shoegaze treacle only to surprise the listeners with some poprock/postpunk melodic pieces ("Catch You Fall") that is a neighbour of a very much post-rock and epic track "Movement". A poison for everyone.

"The Lonely Sea & The Sky"costs 7 GBP.
