Shoegaze. The genre’s boring name seems to preclude it from being even remotely interesting. A lot of shoegaze artists would have me agreeing there. But when done right it is ethereal and carries more mood than most other genres. And thus I present….
Lilys – Tone Bender EP
Here we have musical chameleons The Lilys doing their best MBV impersonation and, dare I say it, probably bettering Shields and Co. at their own game (hey it’s just one guy’s opinion). That is at least true of the sublime ‘Eskimo’ and even ‘February Fourteenth’. This is short, sweet and constantly moody. The best shoegaze always conjures up that depressing yet beautiful melancholy and for that matter this EP may as well be an 18-minute ‘how-to’ on creating mood.
