Tremelo 04

1. Charmparticals - These Are Your Walking Papers (Charmparticals)
From their 2002 "Scenic EP".

2. Skywave - Nothing Left To Say(Alison)
From the 2003 album "Synthstatic"

3. Airiel - The Release (Highwheel)
Another track from what is sure to become one of the essential albums of the year "The Battle Of Sealand".

4. Jesu - Blind & Faithless (Temporary Residence)
This comes from a 12" EP which Jesu share with Evulium. Not sure how many copies were pressed but I think it's probably quite limited.

5. Ulrich Schnauss - Look At The Sky (Rob Mcvey Version) (Independiente)
From the excellent "Quicksand Memory" EP.

6. A Sunny Day In Glasgow - Summerlong Silences (Notenuf Records)
From the new EP "Tout New Age".

7. My Bloody Valentine - Swallow (Creation)
From possibly the finest EP ever to grace the surface of the planet. The "Tremolo EP" was released back in 1991 yet still manages to find it's way onto my stereo with alarming regularity. "Swallow" is the second track on the EP and contains some of the best sounds I have ever heard.

8. Spotlight Kid - Never's Too Soon (Club AC30)
From the album "Departure". One of the best debuts of the year.

9. Monoland - Starbright On s5 (Supermoder)
From the album "Ben Chantice"

10. Malory - Underwater (Claire)
From the album "Not Here, Not Now"

Tremelo 03

1. Monotone - Kiss Me Awake (Wurlitzer Jukebox)
This is a 7" single from a few years ago. I think some of their singles have recently been released as a cd compilation but I have as yet to find a copy.

2. A Place To Bury Strangers - Don't Think Lover ()
The band will be releasing a ten track cd next month through Killer Pimp Records. I hear they are supporting The Jesus & Mary Chain at some point as well.

3. Alcest - Ciel Errant (Profound Lore)
From the bands debut album "Souvenirs d'un autre monde". Out 3rd August. This is the track I keep coming back to. Not sure if you can order it yet but try HERE

4. Jessica Bailiff - Helpless (Bad Jazz)
This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful tracks ever commited to vinyl. It has just been re-issued on a Jessica Bailiff compilation called "Old Things" which if your not familiar with Jessica Bailiff would be a very good purchase. Apart from this track there are at least three more which make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.

5. Secret Shine - Temporal (Sarah)
From the album "After Years".

6. The Sky Drops - Now Would Be (Skydrops)
Taken from the "Clouds Of People" ep.

7. Televise - Mezzo (Drifting Falling)
Taken from the album "Strings and Wires".

8. Sleepy Eyes Of Death - Statoc For Blood (Sleep Capsule)
From the new album "Streetlights For A Ribcage".

9. The Emerald Down - Red Shift (Pop Sound)
From the briliant 2001 album "Scream The Sound".

10. My Bloody Valentine - Sugar (The Catalogue)
Not sure if this track ever got an official release. If not it certainly should have. This version comes from a flexi disc which was given away free with an issue of The Catalogue magazine back in 1989. According to Kevin Shields there could well be a new My Bloody Valentine album next year....now where have I heard that before?

Here we go then, this weeks download is pretty unmissable by my reckoning with tracks from the brand new releases by The Fleeting Joys, Airiel, Ulrich Schnauss and Astral.
By the way if anyone would like to join the site as a contributor and do a few reviews or...well, whatever you want really, please get in touch.
On with the music.......

1. All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavours - All The Time (Gern Blandsten)
From the self titled album originally released in 1996 but re-issued through Gern Blandsten in 2001.

2. Airiel - Thinktank (Highwheel)
Taken from the brilliant new album "The Battle Of Sealand". Out 29th August. I think this is probably the best thing the band have done so far. A must have.

3. Tears Run Rings - A Question & An Answer (Disaster Club)
Title track from the California bands "Question & An Answer" EP.

4. Ulrich Schnauss - Shine (Independente)
From the new album "Goodbye". I think this is probably my favorite track although ask me tomorrow and it will another one. Great record.

5. Starflyer 59 - Droned (Tooth & Nail)
Taken from the 1998 album "Starflyer 59".

6. Rumskib - Hearts On Fire (Darla)
Without a doubt one of the most essentiel releases of the year. No record collection is comlete without one of these.

7. Fleeting Joys - Go & Come Back (Only Forever)
This comes from the new album "Despondent Transponder" which I think hits the streets on 27th July.

8. Asobi Seksu - Sooner (One Little Indian)
Definately my prefered track from the New York bands "Walk On The Moon" CD single. Should have been the lead track in my humble opinion.

9. The December Sound - Kill Me (Before I Kill You) (Northern Star)
Taken from the bands "Kill Me" EP which appeared at the back end of last year. The album is almost complete and should see a release in the autumn.

10. Astral - Transmitter (Vibraphone)
From the bands brand new "Transmitter" EP.

Here we are then yet another new music blog. This one's a bit different though. I spend half my time trawling through the internet looking for new bands who have THAT sound. I suppose you'd probably label it Shoegaze or Dreampop or something, whatever. Anyway the purpose of this site is to save you the time and trouble of having to do that. Basically I'm going to post a playlist roughly every week containing tracks from both new and old bands. The emphasis will of course be more towards new bands and I'll also try so stay away from the more commercial bands out there. Where possible I'll post a link to a place where you can purchase the record because, and this is the important bit, If you like it buy it. Bands can't make music for free you know. If anyone wants to make any contributions or submissions to the site please get in touch. Anyway on with the music.
