Dear all,
today we are going to talk about a band from Ontario, Canada, whose name is Volcano Playground. They asked me the add on myspace, then I listened to their music and, well... they're really cool and interesting. So I asked permission to post some of their stuff, and they sent me all their new EP, that is called "Waiting". It's dense shoegaze, on the way of the genre masterpieces, like My Bloody Valentine or Spacemen 3. Male and female voices, some electronics, piano, and many other sounds. Guitar is important, but not as much as in the traditional shoegazing bands. No guitar walls, I mean. Anyway, they don't need it, because the heavily reverbered voices and the space keyboards are, in my opinion, the most characterizing elements of this oniric and dreamy music.
You are listening to three of their first (!) Ep songs. Enjoy the other ones on their site, it's worth doing!
