Submotile - Sonic Day Codas (2021)

Submotile is an Italian-Irish band of musician inspired by noisy and psychedelic face of pop-rock music. There's tons of guitar loudness and background noise with light melodies on the foreground. This sums up their second (?), released in April album called Sonic Day Codas.

And as it is the way with this kind of music, the psychedelic is what drives it throughout the whole album. Soothing and ethereal vocals singing out graceful melodies are one thing but what is most attention-worthy is what happens in the background. And it's usually a real storm of distorted and overdrive-full guitars raging their way to be heard. The band surely knows how to use their energy not to overwhelm the compositions and to sound like My Bloody Valentine in the backgrounds (so good in Microdose!) but a neat dream pop band in the foregrounds.

What strikes me the most while listening to this albums is the quality of the noise sound, it is not easy to deliver such a dirty-sounding material without sounding super lo-fi but Submotile did it. There are also some parts that stand out in this fairly homogeneous blend of psychedelia this albums is. Most certainly the whole song Cyanotic with raging guitars, fun melody and such an impressive finish making me think of Rev Rev Rev's Blame. Another thing is that they can also create captivating ballad-like pieces (like Anhedonia for example) for which the level of psychedelic fun is the same although the pace changes to slower one that makes it only more mesmerizing.
