28 Degrees Taurus – ‘Vast Majestic’
Boston psych/shoegazers 28 Degrees Taurus posted their fourth record ‘Mirrors & Gates’ this week after a release show on the weekend. The duo (Jinsen Liu and Karina Dacosta) have been at it for the better part of a decade, working with more drummers than Spinal Tap! It’s a raw and uninhibited record that mixes it up with each track. Take a listen to the lead single ‘Vast Majestic’ below or steam the album here. Side note, Karina’s vocals remind me of Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth) – just me?

Io Echo – ‘Ministry Of Love’
Earlier this month Iamsound released Io Echo’s debut album ‘Ministry Of Love’, earning a spot on Pitchfork’s Advance list. The record has received moderate reviews, sitting somewhere beyond rock, electronic and industrial with some Asian influences thrown in. The L.A. duo (Ioanna Gika and Leopold Ross) stepped out this week, releasing an interactive video for the title track via Noisey. It’ll have you spinning, clicking and dragging your way through it before long – here.

Wild Nothing – ‘A Dancing Shell’
Jack Tatum’s Wild Nothing will release their new seven track EP ‘Empty Estate’ via Captured Tracks on May 14. Their dreamy past is becoming increasingly distant, the single ‘A Dancing Shell’ takes its cues from 80s pop and so does the video that accompanies it. Gotta admit, I miss the ‘Gemini’ days.

Neil Halstead – ‘Full Moon Rising (Mark Van Hoen Remix)’
Neil Halstead (of Slowdive / Mojave 3 fame) delivered his third solo record ‘Palindrome Hunches’ last September and on May 13 the second single ‘Spin The Bottle’ will be available through Sonic Cathedral. Point being, there’s a few extra goodies to be had, including a remix of the album cut ‘Full Moon Rising’. Electronic music veteran (and former Seefeel member) Mark Van Hoen has stepped up to the challenge. Mark has turned the acoustic number into a delightfully more dreamy creation while maintaining the organic feel of the original – see below.

Judy’s Funeral – ‘The Machine’
Polish newcomers Judy’s Funeral have released their debut EP ‘Four Track Extended Play’ with the opener – ‘The Machine’. Taking a leaf out of A Place To Bury Strangers book of noise rock, Judy’s Funeral are relentless – pulsing with brick wall guitars, dark tones and vocals sung from the depths!

No Joy – ‘Slug Night’
Any fears No Joy were veering away from their noisy, abrasive roots on their new LP ‘Wait To Pleasure’ are dispelled right from the opener ‘E’. The “in your face” attitude of 2010’s ‘Ghost Blonde’ is still evident. I must admit, this is a much stronger record than I expected it to be. The Montreal band have grown into themselves and have produced a diverse offering; from 90s rockers a la Lush in ‘Prodigy’, to the dreamy ‘Lunar Phobia’ and the shogazey ‘Slug Night’. It’s inaccurate to lump No Joy in the shoegaze bag but nonetheless those influences are clear. No Joy’s ‘Wait To Pleasure’ is out today via Mexican Summer – shop here.
