'Molten Young Lovers' is Airiel's second full-length album following their 2012's 'Kid Games' EP. The band, which hails from Chicago, IL., does not need many introductions among shoegaze fans. Jeremy Wrenn often describes their music as:"It's loud. It's pretty. You can dance to it."; it's a description that fits perfectly this album. 'Molten Young Lovers' instantly engages its listeners into an alternating array of uptempo (This Is Permanent, Sharron Apple) and downtempo songs (Your Lips,My Mouth, Molten Young Lovers, Song Of You). This album sounds like an ode to love and is full of captivating melodies permeated with Airiel's magical ability to turn the audio into visual with their lyrics. It's safe to say that it's among our favourite albums of 2017 (and not only). 'Molten Young Lovers' came out on October 13th on double LP and digital formats on Shelflife Records. Do not miss it!
Kristine Capua(Tiny Microphone) and Lisle Mitnik(Fireflies) formed Tiny Fireflies when EardrumsPop asked them to create a song together for their "Between Two Waves" compilation. The Chicago based duo have since published more songs and released their EP Change in 2011. Their last single 'Picture Perfect' having been released in 2012, Kristine and Lisle had been working on their debut full-length album. Yesterday they unveiled the first song off 'The Space Between', a nine-track album which will be released on November 11th. 'Taken' is a gorgeous synth-pop track that you will instanty take to. In eager anticipation of the album, make sure to listen to 'Taken' below.
After their debut 7" release almost two years ago, Chicago's dream-poppers Star Tropics have just dropped two new songs out of their upcoming album. 'Summer Rain' and 'Swept Away' sound fresh and jangly and summery and essentially pop and you can download them for free at their bandcamp. Let's hope they will release some more music soon!
