Goslings

Heavy dream/space drone and lo-fi indie pop are merged together at last, courtesy of the Goslings. A husband and wife duo, Max and Leslie Soren specialise in blowing out amps with intense and nullifying waves of alienating drone, while tempering these harsh realms with a vocal sweetness and emotional intimacy closely associated with indie pop. The dynamic they create is one that both confounds and mesmerises, as scrapes circle underneath clattering bell sounds and rumbling bass tones, ad infinitum. This stuff is sure to inspire such disparate comparisons as Charalambides, Skullflower, Flying Saucer Attack and more shoegazing territory such as My Bloody Valentine and drone-metal outfits SunnO))). While the Goslings derive their sound from a mishmash of sub-genres they are making personal and unique sounds, much in the same manner Jessica Rylan brings sweet intimacy to the harsh noise front. This Crucial Blast reissue combines both of the Goslings’ 2003 and 2004 EPs for the lovely little Asaurus label into one flowing experience that will shatter your equilibrium and warm your heart at the same time. A mysterious and enchanting slab of plastic, Spaceheater / Perfect Interior is a wonderful gateway into many different depths of sound, as well as a unique experience unto itself.
