Ok, ok, hear me out: Daydream Twins' debut was one of the best shoegazey albums of 2022, their EP Bombinate was one of the best ones in 2023 and... now it's time for their sophomore LP called Solstice for Embodiment and, in my books, it's on the best way to become one of the best of the incoming year when it comes to airy but also very melodic shoegaze/dream pop vibes.
The unbelievable talent for writing catchy songs is what attracts me to the Texas duo in the first place. You can say that if it wasn't for the dreamy arrangements and off-stream vibes, the songs would be featured on your mainstream radio stations and national charts. But it's a great thing they are not: the pop hit-like melodies here are enchanted within the airy guitar and ethereal vocals-fueled compositions, meaning it's what we like the most. This ratio of the catchy and the dreamy seems to me perfectly balanced and perhaps it means that it can attract fans of very wide range of genres.
But if you ask me, the more airy, the better. That's why ballads like Aeromancy and Thousand Steps take the cake on the album.
Solstice for Embodiment costs 7 USD.
