The best of shoegaze, dreampop, shoegazing (indie with shoegaze influence) and dreamy (indie with dreampop influence). And also from related genres, such as neo-psychedelia, post-punk, fuzzpop, guitarpop and garagepop. Eventually, we will publish styles that we also enjoy, such as indiefolk, powerpop, gothic rock, indie rock and sophistipop.
In this highly anticipated debut album, French trio Cosmopaark tackles anxiety and depression with tenderness and compassion. At times ethereal and blissful, and at times dark and foreboding, yet always cohesive, the sound of ‘and I can’t breathe enough’ leads us into an emotional labyrinth. Highlighted by ethereal vocals, their steady unrelenting wall of sound draws inspiration from the 90’s shoegaze scene (My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive) as well as dynamism from the current scene (DIIV, Ringo Deathstarr, Nothing).
Cosmopaark are considered the most exciting newcomers in the shoegaze scene as their hit “Mr.BigYellowSun” - taken from their former EP "Sunflower" - has recently reached 1 million streams on Spotify !
SA: Brillant. The release doesn't exaggerate. A great future awaits them.
Bosco Sacro is an Italian quartet founded in 2020. Its members have been constantly releasing and performing music within the Italian and European underground scene during the last decade: Paolo Monti (The Star Pillow, DAIMON), Giulia Parin Zecchin (Julinko), Luca Scotti (Tristan da Cunha) and Francesco Vara (Tristan da Cunha, Altaj).
Inspired by visions of sublime, reconciling vastness coming from the contact with nature and landscapes, united by a genuine devoutness to the practice of music as an healing, liberating movement, their style features dreamy atmospheres, slowed-down rhythms and an intense sonic and spiritual depth. Their musical roots come basically from ambient, doom and trip-hop.

The creation of their debut album 'Gem' came as an impressively spontaneous and clean, natural process, leading to the creation of a sound which unites all past experiences of each individual musician into a new expressive language. With the skillfull contribution of producer Lorenzo Stecconi (who, among others, worked with Amenra, Zu, Ufomammut, Lento), 'Gem' was recorded in an unique session during the first days of October 2021 at AMM Monteggiori Studio, a peaceful place in the Tuscan hills surrounded by silence and woods.
