| Tibican - It Runs Deep EP |
Is shoegaze making a comeback?
Probably. Most things usually do at some point or another. Anyway, London mob
Tibican have a slightly different take on the genre so it's less of a comeback
and more of a remix. New EP 'It Runs Deep' opens up with a real sense of psychedelia
and some introspective shoegaze elements that make 'When You Love Your Love'
such a joy to just dive in to and roll around naked inside. No? Just me then.
'Children Of The Night' has a filthy, grinding bass line that lurches and
lunges in to the room before releasing a barrage of guitars directly at your
head and slowly letting the song unfold before your eyes, ears and imagination.
There is a delicious darkness to
the music of Tibican that is impossible to ignore and futile to resist as the
atmospheres they create paint new pictures all around you in vivid shades of
black and gold. 'Gone' is up next and for an easy frame of reference then look
no further than Kasabian having a stab at what the Doors might sound like if
they had been frozen, only to be defrosted in the year 2015 (i.e. not that far
in to the future). The EP finishes up, like a salty sea dog, with 'Get Your
Cards Out', a song that surges forward relentlessly as the malevolently
whispered vocals seethe at you from the shadows. I love this EP way more than I
thought I would (largely because I thought Tibican sounded like the sort of
name an awful dance act would give themselves) so I strongly suggest you give
this a go. Or else....
