Italian shoegaze/post-punk/noise-pop band Clustersun has announced the release of their sophomore album Surfacing To Breathe via Seahorse Recordings, but are already wetting appetites for psychedelic shoegaze offerings with their first single "Raw Nerve". This first single shall be officially released on 14th April with the full album following on 19th May. Three years after their debut album Out Of Your Ego, this 4-piece outfit from Catania (Siciliy) have raised the sonic bar, delivering a more complex and layered mixture of gazey reverberations, a massive walls of sound, psychedelic soundscapes and dreamy melodies.
Featuring eight tracks, Surfacing To Breathe was produced by Clustersun and Alessio Pindinelli (La Casa Al Mare). Combining shoegaze, psychedelia, post-punk and dreampop, the band's signature cosmic/spacey dark vibe is still intact with lyrics invoking a dreamlike sense of melancholy and emotional fragility. Guitarist Mario Lo Faro explains: "This album is way fuzzier, more powerful, dynamic, edgy than the debut. Sounds were layered to build a dense, but articulated, sonic wall. Also we recorded the songs from Surfacing To Breathe while we were touring so they retain that "live" vibe and power, while Out Of Your Ego had more ethereal and "light" tracks."
Clustersun released a video for the first single "Raw Nerve", it was directed by Samir Kharrat and Adriano Spadaro, and you can enjoy in this cosmic wall of shoegazy sound by clicking play in the player below. Link
