s.i.n. r.o.p.a.s. - 'm.i.r.r.o.r. b.r.i.d.e.' (2016)
new sounds from everyone's favorite active american bummer band. if you asked me to pick a band playing today carrying the torch for independent rock n roll rooted in folk and blues music... this would be the band. not all the songs on this latest record of theirs are great, but half of them are. and this here is an uncommon band with an uncommon sound.

i discovered this obscure shoegaze band listening to my library on shuffle. i have this shoegaze compilation that i never listen to because it is five discs long and i just don't care about shoegaze all that much. plus parts of it kinda reek of alternative rock. it's not a very well curated comp, in my opinion. then again, i'm not a die hard. anyway, i'm glad i kept the comp for rainy day listening. alison't halo stood out. it turns out that this band is so obscure that they didn't even manage to put out a full length in the 90s. but there is this comp or their music, which was recently reissued. i think it's pretty sweet. nice poppy jams for afternoons at home with the fam.
