shoegazer's not dead


TEARS RUN RINGS – ALWAYS, SOMETIMES, SELDOM, NEVER
Tears Run Rings has five band members, based in Portland, Seattle, and LA. Despite the distance between them, they collaborated over the course of about 3 years to create one of the prettiest shoegaze albums I have heard in recent times. Something like a more upbeat Slowdive, the vocals provided by guitarist Matthew Bice and bassist Laura Watling are sublime. Check out the track "How Will the Others Survive?" here:
