Track Of The Day DEEP SKY OBJECT
Drawing their name from the Bowery Electric at their most droning early stage, New York City outfit Deep Sky Objects show themselves to be well cultured, and their cover of Yo La Tengo‘s 1995 popstatic classic “Tom Courtenay” is a further clue, along their exploration of Jangle, Indie Rock and Shoegaze guitar-driven territories, at times with multicolored hues of psychedelia, likely informed by early 90s greats such as Ride, R.E.M., Chapterhouse, Pale Saints, Blind Mr Jones, Swirlies, and Lilys.
The three-piece serves up a thrumming, reverb-drenched sound, scratchy and tuneful at the same time, that shimmers and warbles with fresh, vibrant, and fluid energy, as throughout their recently released sophomore four-track EP, “New You.”
Aside from the crackling jingle jangle of “Daylight Affair,” peppered with a wah-wah-charged screechy finale, the leading and opening track, “Banner Of Light,” is about a personal journey through self-actualization, wherein perception changes from conflicting fragments to the beauty, depth, and joy of third eye vision.
Driven by an urgent drumming and a pulsing bassline, the song revolves around crispy, wavy chord progressions that slide, to speed up and slow down, until finally swelling with rising anxious energy over soft, dreamy male vocals, crooning before soaring into ecstasy to evoke a sense of longing that sways between elation and anticipation.
