Soundcloud Track: Jaguwar. Muffhead (Demo).

“Muffhead” is a demo track with a billowing, classic shoegaze sound from Jaguwar, a Dresden trio less than a year old who have already managed an EP and supporting slots for Japandroids, Tamaryn, and Megaphonic Thrift.

The poetry and humor evident in Jaguwar’s Facebook biography and description suggest a band truly on fire with shoegaze spirit:

Biography:

JAGUWAR formed in summer 2012 under the starsigns of shoegaze and noisepop music. Three whatevers start philosophising about finding a soundshape which is blended by walls of guitars but even sparkled with sweet purple stars.

By losing all their money in buying tons of amps, effects, guitars and my bloody valentine vinyls, they left home to play every gig they could.

Description:

the shape of a fender Jaguar.
crystal delay/reverb sounds.
fuzzz wave attack.
feedback noise.
the beatles on a spacemen 3 show.

New Single (Freak) & Video (Blackhole) from Secret Colours. New LP Peach Released May 28.

Chicago psyche-drone quartet Secret Colours dropped their sophomore full-length Peach on May 28th in all major formats, including cassette. Esquire’s culture blog has voiced the expectation that this release will propel the band “to the front line of [the] burgeoning psych revival” while noting the prominence of the band’s 90's shoegaze influences on the new record.

Listen to the single 
“Freak”:

"Never Go Away" by Drowner.

If you only listen to one song today, make it “Never Go Away” by Drowner (2012, from the Drowner EP).

Drowner is a dream-pop/post-rock/shoegaze quartet from Houston. They’ve been around for only a couple of years, and they’re one of the emerging bands on the shoegaze and dream-pop label Saint Marie Records.

Although this song didn’t specifically come from the mailbag, my introduction to that Fort Worth, Texas-based label was because of a mailbag submission a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I’ve been loopy for that label and its amazing roster of bands.

It all started in about 2008, when guitarist Darren Emmanuel was trying out some new sounds in an effort to launch a side project from his other bands. He was in a dance-y electronic band called Swimming In, and a jazzy, trip-hoppy band called Apples To Earth. I’ve never heard either of those bands, and my description of them is based entirely on what I’ve read. Emmanuel wanted to do something that accentuated his growing fascination with the shoegaze revival of the late aughts, and that project eventually became Drowner. He brought in a full band, including his longtime friend Anna Bouchard on vocals…

Video: Teen. Circus (Live at Union Pool).

Note the major vintage synth action on this clip, including Korg, Moog, and Sequential Circuits classics.

“Circus” is included on Teen’s new EP, Carolina, out next week from CarparkRecords. Stereogum is premiering Carolina this week by way of an advance stream. Stereogum describes the EP as “five tracks of complex psych-influenced but wholly unique indie pop...Each track exists in its own hyper-detailed, hypnotic space.”

Teen have called their music “psychedelic gospel.” Their debut full-length, In Limbo, released last fall on Carpark, employed the assistance of Spaceman 3’s Peter Kember in mixing and production.

Three of this all-female Brooklyn quartet’s members are sisters: Kristina “Teeny” Lieberson on guitar, keys, and vocals; Lizzie Lieberson on keys and vocals; and Katherine Lieberson on drums and vocals. They are are joined by longtime friend Jane Herships on bass and vocals.

Also check out last summer’s grimly psychedelic and completely amazing video for “Electric”.
