Today’s track of the day is from Mexican Shoegaze/DreamPop/Psychedelic Rock band, The Lsdays. This band feature guitars, drums and ethereal vocals and produce very atmospheric music. At the end of the review, there’s links to this tune. On with the review! ⭐️

Show Me Babe: With a stab of feedback this tune starts to jangly guitar and a multi or many-voice approach to the vocals. The tune is a blend of both melodic pop and discordant guitar work. There’s little hints of American Alternative Rock (Sebadoh, Mercury Rev and Pavement) and nuances of Classic UK and Irish Shoegaze. (Lush, Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine). The instrumentation is nice and understated and allows the voices to shine through. There’s a noisy and fuzzy instrumental break, which pushes and evolves the song, but it’s never overbearing, neither does it have the Alternative Rock staple of quiet to loud; the fuzzier sounds just meander in. There’s a real sense of atmosphere, mood and otherworldliness. The voices drift back in, more ethereal and echoey. There’s a change in vocals and guitar chords, a chorus of types which adds texture to the song. The Guitar pedal/Shoegaze elements are subtle and not overdone, coming back for another solo-type passage, that sort of familiarity but slight variance was what the first wave of British Punk bands like the Sex Pistols would do, then influencing a generation of 80s-90s Indie bands who would develop this style in a more subtle fashion. The instrumentation twists and turns into a Psychedelic Space-Rock fuzz-out, which continues and helps support the vocals. The guitar sounds push to a crescendo whilst drums provide a gentle backing. Dream-like, ‘Show Me Babe’ weaves towards it’s Sonic climax.
