(Indie Rock, Shoegaze) Younghusband - Dromes - 2013, MP3, 320 kbps

'The album was produced by Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter, Wild Nothing) and features 12 tracks, including recent radio favourite ‘Comets Crossed’, new single ‘Silver Sisters’ and re-recorded versions of EP tracks ‘Reunion Message’ and ‘Constantly In Love’.
It’s an incredible record that mixes up the band’s disparate influences (they namecheck The Velvet Underground, Yo La Tengo, Television, The Modern Lovers, Pavement, Dinosaur Jr, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Broadcast, Wire, Otis Redding, Thee Oh Sees, Can, Electrelane, Stereolab, Delia Derbyshire and Talking Heads among many, many others) into something that is at once experimental and accessible.
Short and sweetly psychedelic instrumentals give way to classic indie-pop that sounds a little bit like The House Of Love going paisley underground (‘Comets Crossed’, ‘Silver Sisters’). Loping Krautrock grooves (‘Reunion Message’, ‘Wavelength’) are countered by songs that could be My Bloody Valentine if they’d somehow ended up signed to Stax not Creation (‘Constantly In Love’).'
