Gloam - Gloam (2022)

Gloam are from the city of Perth in Asutralia, or, as they call it, the city of Boorloo. They brought us their debut EP last December and Gloam is something certainly worth checking out.

As for an aspiring shoegaze band best fitting, Gloam aim at taking the audience "on an extensive musical journey, fluctuating between dreamy soundscapes and heavy-hitting walls of sound". Their music is very much guitar-based and there's little shoegaze-specific ways of distorting the sound, it's more about the honest, (noise) rock way of sound with psychedelic-like, hazy vocals on top of that. I really like the crunch, the texture of the rough-sounding guitars that make great impression, even though they are soften by the vocals. Perhaps the most impressive track, the EP's finish in Meanwhile adds to this picture some difficult to identify samples that sound like some angry metal music somewhere under the guitar cushions.

Gloam costs 3.5 EUR (5 AUD).
