etherpool - the asylum colour (2017) EN

That's the shoegaze we like, Troy Bradbury and Flip Yates from Washington have just released their bright like the Sun coming through colourful leaves album as etherpool. And as the project's name suggests, we deal with a real whirlpool of dreampop-shoegaze airy tracks that are as loud as moody.

I'm bought right after the first song because "engines" sounds like a song by, no pun here, Engineers if they started to play on much higher speed level. It's not only a compact, complex and deafening on many levels sound, it's also similarly diffused vocals and incredibly catchy chorus: "our time to decide" repeated like a mantra.

The shoegaze noise sounds really well, especially in "christaline" in the background of which we can spot an electrical reference to the legendary "Loveless" Nevertheless, the melody here still doesn't loose its importance. There is also a slower, more ballad-like and at the same time getting more traditional rock vibes side of the project that develops in "dead branches" and finishes the album with a cover by another legend of the borderland, The Cure.

"the asylum colour" dostępny jest za płać ile chcesz.
