Track Of The Day GOODLIFE 1996
GOODLIFE 1996 is the new depressive Shoegaze project from Brisbane, Australia, led by Steven Schnorrer of the long-running Goth/Post-punk outfit Locust Revival, as a means to give free rein to the reverb-drenched flirtations constantly present in his primary project.
Deepened by the use of drop-tuned guitars and sombre vocals, the band’s debut single, “This Town Is Sucking The Life Out of Me,” which will be followed by a full EP in the new year, conveys how living in a small town can feel like being dead, because there is nothing around that stimulates or rouses care.
The song tackles both blissful, sad and broody atmospherics of quiet/loud shoegaze dynamics, laced with a murky grungy underbelly, stumbling through tinny trembling guitar strums, interspersed with noisy fuzzed-out outbursts and pain-fueled screeching swells, over lost, ghostly vocals suffering in heavy sways of agony.
