Apteka
All three are touring behind new or about to be released singles and / or albums, and they're all worth getting, but we want to give a special call out towards Apteka's forthcoming Traitors 7". They've allowed us to share the title track with you below and it's a fine example to give you a taste of their particular brand of shoegaze. The true gem is the b-side "Aragon Sound." First, that name is hilarious, and fitting given the massive walls of noise conjured within the song's six-plus minutes. The structure and feel of the song harkens back to Gish-era Smashing Pumpkins capturing all the grandeur of those exciting years.
Check out some samples from Serena-Maneesh and The Depreciation Guild while you're at it.We predict after you hear these tracks you'll be making your way to Bottom Lounge later this evening.
