Listen/purchase: Unearth by Subsonic Eye

First single from the upcoming album Nature of Things (due in mid January) by Singapore dreampop/shoegaze band Subsonic Eye   =D

The first 2:30 is a very catchy dreampop tune, and then they sabotage their pop efforts with some detuned guitars, and finally conclude with a minute of a noisy end-of-song hold, LOL.  XD

Well, if it was up to me, I’d suggest releasing a single version that fades out before all the weirdness ensues, and then radio deejays would have no trouble getting this on the air.  Just my opinion, don’t yell at me.  =)

Let’s hear the song The Tired Club from their 2018 album Dive Into, this is really melodic shoegaze, a perfect song:

Let's check out a song from the brand new debut indie pop album by Filipina singer-songwriter The Purest Blue aka Pauline Rana. =D

The album was co-produced by Jared Lim from Sobs. (Sobs tweeted about it earlier today)

A YouTube topic page has the album, and you can hear it on Spotify. I've heard 3 songs so far, all good. indie-electro-bedroom pop.
