Danish Shoegaze

"Echoes and silhouettes from the past. drift through the desert like unknown shadows. out here there's the most evil melody. and it keeps the most beautiful tone. come sing with the lonesome wolf. fly with the high flying bird. live with nature's secrets. where the dust runs cool through the wilderness. where the wind strikes your lucky tears. where time and place grow thin. like a cigarette burnin' to the ground. the road will lead you to the west. if you follow silence and beauty. it's where there's nothing to explain" http://www.myspace.com/talesofmurderanddust ... and you should also give The Estrangers a listen! http://www.myspace.com/theestrangers

Penny Ikinger - Fragile

Aussie noise darling Penny Ikinger is out with a 3 track EP teaser for her next album “Penelope”. Last time around Simon here at LowCut almost wet his pants – and yes, she is a darling. First track “Fragile” starts out like a sweet pop song and then it’s topped by a beautiful dirty guitar solo, damn well done. Next track “Memories Remain” is a slow noise drenched duet with cool slide and vocal duties is shared with Ron Peno. Last track of this EP is a daring one! Although she’s been compared with Nico it takes some big balls to actually cover “All Tomorrows Parties”. But she do well, actually after four spins of this track I’ll say that she do what almost no other woman may be capable of! I also like the cool effect of adding sitar to the laid back and controlled noise inferno. What a tease … Penny Ikinger Web LowCut

The Long Strides - S/T

Australian The Long Strides for sure dig the mix of The Velvet Underground and Jesus and Mary Chain. Well, the do it well even though there's a giant wave of bands lately giggin' this groove. What I mean is, that The Long Strides battles uphill against bands like the Black Angels and The Warlocks just to name a few. But then again they do it well. The Sound is thick and sticky as tar and not that drowned in feedback as other bands from this genre. Vocals are also more in the foreground and not that drowsy with both male and female lead. But the guitars, well they are for sure drowned in fuzz. Cool record with a few really cool stand-out tracks as "Black Black Smoke" and "Do it again" - especially the latter has a black black groove. The really trippy stuff is also to be found in a song like "Perfect Precription".
