Discovery of the Week: Beloved Rogue, “Daysleeping”
As you may have noticed, I added a Soundcloud widget over in the right-hand column of the blog a few weeks back. If you’re not familiar with it, Soundcloud is a pretty cool service that allows artists to post songs and “send” them to other people on Soundcloud to stream and/or download. Essentially, it’s a prettier, easier way of sending tracks to a blogger (or anyone else) than emailing a file or a link.
And while I’ve been getting a lot of notifications from Soundcloud that people have been sending me songs, I finally got a chance this afternoon to log in and start listening to what I’ve been getting. And that’s how I discovered Beloved Rogue.
From what I can tell on their website the band is based in New York, and has recently released its debut EP entitled Polaurora (which you can download for free here).
I just finished listening to the EP, and it’s fantastic. If you’re a fan of 90′s-style shoegaze/dream-pop (think Slowdive, Ride, Swervedriver, etc.), I strongly recommend that you check them out ASAP. And if you’re in NYC, catch the band at Pete’s Candy Shop on November 23rd.
