Molten Young Lovers

by Airiel

supported by

Bartzabel Airiel is my first go-to band when I show Shoegaze to people who have never heard of it. I've adored them since I first heard Winks and Kisses. "Inside Out" and "Keep You" are an outstanding summary of modern Shoegaze's sonic beauty, and the album as a whole is flawless. I never skip a single track. Favorite track: Keep You.

Pip From The Forge Dark, moody, & lovely. Another impressive release from one of the most outstanding shoegaze bands. I can honestly say they have only improved with each release. Cool alternate of Sharron Apple too; It was the first song I ever heard from Airiel and still gives me goosebumps. Favorite track: Your Lips, My Mouth.

yo mero conocí airiel por su álbum winkes & kisses y fue muy grato volver a escuchar un nuevo trabajo igual de bueno que el anterior, me hace recordar a alguien especial Favorite track: Molten Young Lovers.

about

"Cloudburst," the record's first single (which was released this past March), provides a clear insight into the record's magic. The huge chorus is carried by a vocal melody that stands out as the largest part, only complimented by the waves of cascading guitar. In fact, 'large' might be the best possible descriptor for Molten Young Lovers as a whole. The tracks on this LP have a larger-than-life quality, partly due to the crisp production. Kiss' drums are hard-hitting and clear, the guitars are enveloping and lush, and Blanton's basslines flesh out the walls of sound created by the rest of the band. Molten Young Lovers is an album that feels instantly seamless, but that doesn't prevent Airiel from covering a wide range of dynamic ground. Tracks like the opener, "This Is Permanent," and the final track, "The Painkillers," are uptempo songs carried by the unwavering rhythm section, while much of what's in-between--such as "Your Lips, My Mouth"--feel more reflective, without sacrificing any intensity.

In a 2011 interview, Wrenn mentioned that to others, he often describes his music as, "It's really loud, it's pretty and you can dance to it." At first, this might sound like a description that could fit any number of bands. However, upon diving into Airiel's new album, you'll find it to be both an apt description and an inarguable truth. Molten Young Lovers is a record too loud, too big, and too beautiful to be ignored.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
