Melt

by Whimsical

Lorenzo Stunning and tranquil dream pop backed by strong shoegaze-like instrumentation. The two greatest facets of this album are the floaty female vocals that ride along the forefront and the expansive melodicism of the guitars that create moments of intensity

Everything is delivered with a crystalline clarity, never becoming too washed out in droning sounds. There are certainly efforts to balance the more spirited or slow-burn moments found throughout the record Favorite track: Feather.

Agent K One of 2022's BEST Releases!!!!
Of all the 90's Dream Pop/Shoegaze bands to reform since 2015- (Slowdive, Ride, et all...)....perhaps no band is doing more with their re-birth in the Genre.
A melodic sonic ray of sunshine splashes over your Speakers backed by shimmering female vocal harmonies from Vocal tour de force Krissy.
Mining DreamPop Gold.
Whimsical just keeps getting better with each release. Favorite track: Gravity.

Ivan Balakhonov This voice and this music are melting my heart. If somebody wanted me to describe the perfect shoegaze, here it is. Favorite track: Searching.

richardw27 A shimmering wash of guitars all over this gorgeous album. Up tempo numbers countered by some sublime slower moments. I think 'dream pop' encompasses it perfectly, but that other early 90s indie phenomenon beginning with 's' will, no doubt, get a mention too.

Krissy's clear, crystalline vocals are a delight. Favorite track: Crash and Burn.
