Luna Demos 1991
by Dean Wareham
supported by 14 fans who also own “VA - Blue Thunder, A Tribute to Galaxie 500”
When I was fifteen years old I took a chance on Galaxie 500’s ‘On Fire’, having wandered into the aftermath of their Rough Trade Neal’s Yard instore during my work lunch-break. I’d not heard of the band but had a nice chat with the singer Dean, one which touched upon The Cure and the Bunnymen. I sloped back to work with the album in its bag, unaware that Wareham would become my favourite singer-songwriter and lyricist for the next three decades.

Fine ambient dreamy pop, with a great cover of an REO Speedwagon song. Now I never thought I'd like anything by them!

Sometimes I Forget You're Human Too

Melodic alt-pop in the vein of Soccer Mommy is driven by winding guitar lines and augmented with dreamy shoegaze elements.

Under the World
by VOWWS
The new album from VOWWS is driving and merciless, pairing industrial rhythms with doomy, down-stroke guitar chords.

Enough Fun (single)
by Mute Swan
This Tucson group makes wildly psychedelic shoegaze that sounds as if it's been warped and melted by the desert sun.

This Music Is Ours
by A Head Full of Wishes
supported by 12 fans who also own “VA - Blue Thunder, A Tribute to Galaxie 500”
Another triumph, a stellar set of covers that pays tribute to but also builds (sonically) on G500's original LP.
