Fungi Girls – Some Easy Magic (2011) This rock fusion LP boasts a spunky sound across this album. The instrumentals on this album, especially the guitars and the bass, are really fantastic. The surf rock influence is quite prevalent throughout the whole album, with certain licks and riffs feeling like they’re straight out of the 60s. The slacker rock influence is also felt throughout the album, with the fuzzed-out guitars taking center-stage on many of the tracks.

This album had really unexpected opening and closing tracks: Frogs of Meadow Creek and Frogs of Meadow…

Dream Pop and Shoegaze — Dream Aloud by HEAVEN Review
Back in April, NYC-based shoegaze band, HEAVEN, released an LP on Little Cloud Records called Dream Aloud, which is filled with elements of rock, dream pop, and synthpop.

I really enjoyed the journey that this album took me on, but I’d really love to highlight some of the best tracks off the record. Starting off with the LP’s title track, Dream Aloud, we’re brought along a more gentle ride. Leaning more into dream pop than shoegaze, Dream Aloud is the most nostalgic-sounding track. I love the…
