Blankenberge - Radiogaze (2017) EN


At the beginning of they year I got the Russians from Blankenberge under my radar thanks to the great single "We". Now they've just released their first long play and it makes me certain that there is a new wonderful shoegaze collective that has been born in the Eastern Europe.

They write that they create music that is both soft and noisy. No doubt it is. Yana's vocals are airy and soft like a pillow made of moss. It is a perfect fit to the loud and majestically overwhelming guitars. It sounds great in the introduction to the Russian's world in "Disappear" and in the faster ones as "Somewhere Between" or "Out Loud"). The inspirations are clearly seen. The beautiful "Falling Stars" could as well been created by MBV while "So Cold" by Slowdive. But the best one is still the unbeatable "We". Good dose of shoegaze.

The interesting fact is that the band's name comes from a city located in northern Belgium, where the musicians were so fascinated with the sea that they wrote their first song there - "Seagulls". Yes, comparisons to RIDE are quite understandable.

"Radiogaze" costs 5 USD.
