If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Soojin Park A few weeks back I went pretty nuts over GHXST's single "Pls, You Must Be a Dream." With their latest single the Los Angeles based band continues to blow me away. I had described them as a heavy metal version of shoegaze and their press release said that the song had a "surf goth element." "Marry the Night" is this huge song that continues melding shoegaze with heavier music. It's filled with this heavy drone and just kind of plods straight through everything in its path. It's a swirl of fuzzy guitars with a strong foreboding vibe. Add in some killer indie rock guitar solos, and we couldn't be any more into this. You can watch the video for "Marry the Night" below. Admire is due out April 22. For more on GHXST, check out the band's website .

Image courtesy GHXST GHXST are a Los Angeles based duo who have one of the more exciting sounds we've heard in a while. First of all, the press release for their new single, "Pls, You Must Be a Dream," says that the song has a "surf goth element" which we can't argue at all. Their sound is like a heavy metal version of shoegaze, but with an intense noise rock guitar solo that is basically just a drone. This is an intense, ear-splitting sound despite how mid-tempo and sludgy the song is. It's just a mess of low end barraging you until the feedback squall takes over... but there's still an odd pop element to the song? It's as if the vocals were a pop singer's version of 90's slacker with an intense wall of noise collapsing over it. Yeah... "Pls, You Must Be a Dream" is pretty great.
