Following up on their White EP, Lowsunday have continued their return of fine industrial shoegaze with the Low Sunday Ghost Machine – Black EP.
“You’re So Wired” (a song about the confusing state between dreaming and waking) opens the dark gates with heavy reverb vocals, fuzzy yet bold guitars, and snappy drum beats to either snap you out of your brain fog or plunge you back into it, depending on which you choose.
The bouncy, yet warped guitars on “Shattered” are fascinating. It’s prime shoegaze stuff with Shane Sahene‘s vocals echoing everywhere to the point where you’re never sure if he’s singing or just making vocal sounds. It’s good either way. “Someone to Talk to” continues the strange, jangly guitar work by Sahene and Bobby Spell‘s bass creepily crawls all around you.
“This Is Not Heaven” is a goth track you heard in a dream once after you spent the night with some cool people you met at a club who gave you a ride to an all-night diner in the middle of nowhere in their car that smelled like clove cigarettes and jasmine. It’s a song that would give A Place to Bury Strangers a run for their money. The EP ends with “Don’t Want to Dream Again” and some of Spell’s best bass work on the record. Seriously, that groove is outstanding.
Lowsunday’s Black EP helps you find presence with its fuzzy hooks and dreamy vocals. Good shoegaze is always a treat, so don’t skip this.
Keep your mind open.
