Red Sparowes - At The Soundless Dawn - FOREST COLORED VINYL 2x12" (Robotic Empire)

$19.99

Tasteful use of space can be a rarity in modern instrumental music. Los Angeles’ RED SPAROWES debut with "At The Soundless Dawn", a massive album with unconventional approaches to creating aural landscapes that prove not only tasteful, but downright outstanding. With generous hints to shoegazing’s glorious past, their subtle use of reverberating guitars not only echoes the west coast’s comforting distance of surf rock, but also helps the band fluidly transfer into darker passages that flow more like orchestral movements than modern rock songs. Their softer moments resonate in dream-like sequences that drift convincingly into heavier explosions, dismissing the predictable build-ups standardized by many bands of their ilk. It seems that no matter what pace they are playing, RED SPAROWES’ music is always in motion... and with alumni from both NEUROSIS and ISIS on board it’s not exactly a huge surprise. "At The Soundless Dawn" is seven-track, double-LP album and comes housed in a stunning gatefold jacket, helping make this nothing short of a phenomenal debut. Limited to 500 copies.

LSD And The Search For God - Self-Titled -BLACK VINYL 12"
LSD And The Search For God - Self-Titled -BLACK VINYL 12" (Deep Space) $10.99
Awesome indie psych/shoegaze from San Francisco. Pretty unique but comparable to a poppier MY BLOODY VALENTINE or a more opiated SONIC YOUTH. Blissed-out guitar jams at their finest, this really is a highly impressive debut. Recommended! "One of the best debuts you didn’t hear in 2007, ready to be discovered again in ...

We had to wait two long years before finally put our hands over this, and we do think that it deserved all the time waited: an epicly heavy, crushing and monolithic postrock/posthardcore masterpiece, way far from the sound that this band from pisa, italy initially had; like a dark, moody and obscure abyss to drown into...

Los Angeles’ RED SPAROWES bypass the fabled sophomore slump with "Every Red Heart Shines Toward The Red Sun", and it’s almost as if they skipped over an entire album with the mighty leaps and bounds they’ve made since "At The Soundless Dawn" came out just the year prior.
