New darkly mesmerizing new single from the Thai indie band, brimming with boundless melancholia, infused by thoughtful, wandering baritone twangy guitar lines, hearted by sinuous deep bass whirls, to build nostalgic twists for sad, dreamy female vocals, echoing softly into the reverb-filled hazy bliss, to bleed anxious memories into the last, cymbal clashing “Farewell.”

• Charlottesville-based dark/dreamy/jangle/indie-pop outfit FILMS ON SONG “I’m Starting to See You in a New Light” new single from the forthcoming EP.
  

A fantasmagorical escape into a hazy yet endearing, Felt-infused, 80s England, the new single from Charlottesville band winds wiry, nostalgic jangly, strummed guitar melodies with jaunty rhythms and airy keyboard sweeps, around bittersweet male vocals, wrapped in light atmospheric hums, to depict a spectacular vision of deceptive dreams.

Second volume of the two-part cassette album from Oklahoma City-band with their heady ceaselessly interweaving of shoegaze and grungy noise-rock, harmony and noise, ecstatic and evocative atmospheric dilations and abrasive fuzzy viscerality, which sways in moody and introspective sonic territory made of sheer heartfelt dread and emotion, permeated with dark ethereal and melancholic melodies, as well as distressed painful and angsty distortion.
