THE HALF EARTH :: Borders

Staying with the softly stunning sounds that seem to be what my bones, shattered or not, need, The Half Earth is really working for me.

The (unfortunately) English singer's debut EP 'Light Breaks In' (lyric from the gorgeous 'Borders', listen below) is released today. Get it on Amazon for nothing more than chump change.

Lush - Desire Lines

Thanks Switch Killa for the shoegaze ... I'll have to follow with one of my favorite shoegaze bands - Lush. Lush, with a line-up of Meriel Barham (vocals), Emma Anderson (guitar), Miki Berenyi (guitar), Steve Rippon (bass), and Chris Acland (drums), burst onto the scene in 1990 with the single Sweetness and Light. Having produced four major albums, they split up in 1998 after their drummer, Chris Acland, committed suicide. Desire Lines is great for going to sleep by. At 7:30 long, the song goes through a range of emotions, builds to climax starting at 3:46 with one of my favorite guitar breakdowns ever, then settles back down.
