The Ophelias.

by The Ophelias

supported by

R W Cupp One of my all-time favorites for over 30 years and one of the best debut albums ever. It's catchy yet off-kilter. It rocks at times and soothes at others. At the center is Leslie Medford, one of the most engrossing and versatile vocalists you'll ever hear. Every song is a standout, so picking a favorite is virtually impossible. Here's another chance to support this band; don't squander it. Favorite track: Mr. Rabbit.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
