Sungaze is an American "dreamgaze band whose signature sound lends itself quite equally to the realms of shoegaze, psych rock and dream pop". They released their debut album as far back as July and I'd love to come back to it today as Light in All of It is something special.
The Americans describe their music as "a little western, a little sad, with a dose of heavy reverb and haunting vocals" after which they add that a listener surely had never heard anything like this before. The whole thing starts with two instrumental tracks led by clear bass line and mesmerizing atmosphere. As stated before, the airy vocals by Ivory Snow indeed is airy and the dreamy atmosphere indeed very dreamy. In those aspects, the band seem similar to their compatriots from The Stargazer Lillies. Well, as the Sun is also a star, there's something in this comparison.
One of the most interesting tracks here is called The River and serves some intriguing, slightly out-of-tune keys and male and female vocals. This vocal duopoly in which both Snow and Ian Hilvert sound as if taken straight from ethereal dream gets to be the most characteristic trait of the band, especially in such an airy deluge as the album's finish in Washed Away.
Light in All of It costs 7 USD.
