Radio Supernova - Tähtiin (2019) EN

The Fins from Radio Supernova came up with their own genre to define their music, as I found in the album's announcements, they say that shoegaze and dream pop is for losers and they play mansegaze. So be it. The important thing is that it sounds brilliant.

So what's this mansegaze anyway? The artists again: "it combines buzzing guitars with pop hooks and worldly themes." What in this case is the difference between this and the "traditional" shoegaze? Perhaps it's the pugnacity of the guitars that are not only very loud but also pretty fast and aggressive. Or maybe it's the reappearing all over the place psychedelic vibe. Still, I'd say it's "just" shoegaze on a really high, world class level.

Within the album's thick and catchy shoegaze, one can pick up some particularly well-done tracks. Like Sykli that's extremely loud but also pace-changing, or the energetic and catchy Myöhemmin, or Kyyti that develops into spine-thrilling uproar in the end.
