Vicious Blossom - You Breathe Inside of Me (2021)

Nate Zerbe's the leading force behind Vicious Blossom, a noisy and shoegazy project hailing from Pennsylvania. Its very coarse sound should appeal to any fan of the noisegaze as played by Ceremony among others. The band's second album, You Breathe Inside of Me, has just been released by Wind Crest Records.

The album has been created in cooperation with EJ Hagen, guitarist of Highspire, bit obscure from my perspective local shoegaze legends. It is opened by the exceptionally noisy Luminous. In this track it's easy to track inspirations not only to Ceremony but also to some shoegaze icons, including My Bloody Valentine. However, the noisy vibe is toned down already in the second track, very ethereal and dream pop-like May. This short album makes the best out of the two faces of the gaze,  Carrie is again the soft one and it's being followed by a very noisy Goth Girl. The album is set in a tone that's not super widely represented these days so it may just be what some listeners look for.
