La Rosa Noir is a Chicago band lead by Yeshi Regalado. The Chicana songwriter tells stories of the punk scene, relationships, and the loss of her mother. The dreamy post-punk/surf noir hybrid fits in perfectly with women-lead trip jam (a term I took from Peluché years ago) bands like Body Type, Goat Girl, Mere Women, Groupie and Warpaint. Still waiting for a way to actually buy the album.
1. La Rosa Noir – Arellano 2. Upper Wilds – Jupiter3. Vanity Mirror – Puff 4. The Treasures Of Mexico – Burn the Jets 5. Volksempfänger – Attack of Sound6. Sweat – Who Do They Think They Are?7. Dust – et cetera, etc EP8. Axis: Sova – Blinded by Oblivion 9. The Toads – In the Wilderness10. Death And Vanilla – Flicker11. Catatonic Suns – Catatonic Suns12. Matthew ‘Doc’ Dunn – Fantastic Light 13. Cornelius – Dream in Dream

boomkat, new discovery
16. Hysterical Love Project — Lashes (Motion Ward)
Motion Ward’s ambient incubator drop shimmering shoegaze dream-pop and smudged downbeats for lovers of HTRK, A.R. Kane, Perila - issued in a limited CD edition. Pairing Kiwi musician Ike Zwanikken with vocalist Brooklyn Mellar, Hysterical Love Project subtly muddle the foggy memory banks of late ‘80s/early ‘90s shoegaze/dream-pop with prompts from Balearic downbeats and canny compression techniques that lend it a patina of micro-dosed psychedelic sensuality. Perfectly strung out on a late night tip, it flows from the bed-ways lullaby pop and back-combed partials of ‘Miracle-Mouthed’ to the beautifully out-of-reach gauze of ‘Cement’ via delectable highlights of ‘90s trip-pop in the slow-motion acidic lather and forlorn vox of ‘Ionian Sea’, and dreamily headlong wind-tunnel motion of ‘Boyracer’, while ‘Come 2 Me, My Baby’ and ’Sever/Strike’ are unmistakably redolent of HTRK, and likewise the weightless strums of ‘Lavender’ that show they can transfix attention without the beats. Definitely one to watch
