On their debut LP, 2014 Anxiety, Sakawa Boys fuse alternative rock and shoegaze, through tunnels of psychedelia and krautrock. With a strong pop sensibility atop a progressive framework, the album journeys from quiet introspection to noisy confessions, showcasing the band's knack for dynamic songwriting, as they tackle themes of self, anxiety and what it's like to be in your mid-late 20s.

Pressed on 180g black vinyl.

lyrics

I am a stranger
in my own skin
No guests arrive
There’s flesh to fry

Spitting nonsense
outside your window
I catch the light
begin again

begin again (x4)

Against the coming waves
I have the hope of a saint
In a coracle
It breaks the bows
All these dirty words
I eat your poison darts
I eat them whole

What’s left for me
Break it off
and feed it to me
Just want a piece
break it off
and feed it to me

I don’t want to wait again
You’re never going to take me with

Deserves a lot more attention. Loosely at home in the "shoegaze" camp, as good as the better records by MBV. No less. fransstummer

Disheveled Cuss

Big, brawny, hooky songs with 20-ton riffs and choruses as sweet as candy make this one of the month’s strongest rock albums. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 12, 2020

DEATH SPELLS
by HOLY FAWN

The Arizona band do right by post-hardcore on their immersive new LP, leavening untempered breakdowns with carefully-measured catharsis. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2018

Weak
by Blushing

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Hungry Ghosts”

Glorious Dreampop shoe-gazed melodies by Austin married Couples Carmona & Soto. Blushing reminds of another famous 4AD band minus the B & -ing in the namesake. All Trax on this release are "lush" with female blissed out harmonies. "Weak" & "Hidden Places" are standouts. Shimmering Guitar work to boot. Agent K
