Following on from the previous post, here’s more from the new TW shoegaze band DoZzz  =D

DoZzz are taking their swirl-tastic sound out on the road. =D

They played a shoegaze/dreampop fest in South Korea this past weekend and have dates coming up in Taipei and Tokyo:

Listen/purchase: Wandering / 徘徊 by DoZzz

Long-time readers may remember the band How You Fu? They had several beautiful demos plus an ep Part of ___ released at the end of 2014.  

The band kinda mysteriously stopped without any announcement that I could find, but then singer/synth player 林欣逸 Alicia Lin surfaced in 2015 with a gorgeous song called Beautiful on the first Dark Paradise Records electronica compilation. The band name is Fish In The Sky, and I think it was just Alicia Lin and guitarist 徐欣佑 (also fr. How You Fu). And that project, too, seems to be dormant/defunct?

Anyway, fast-forward to 2017 and there’s a debut ep from a band called DoZzz. They formed in summer of 2016, and I had never seen any mention of them until last week when Alicia suddenly posted about the ep!   They are a shoegaze band, and that genre always involves a lot of swirly, echoing/reverberant guitar. Well, DoZzz take the swirly ambience to an extreme – the effected guitars almost sound like keyboards!  Very dreamy soundscape.  =D

The DoZzz fb lists the band Alicia-synth/vocal, 騏-gtr, 小麥-gtr, Han Wu-bass, 毛毛-drums.  I haven’t seen any photos (or real names) of the band, so I can’t say for sure if any of these peeps were also in How You Fu.  

Let’s go back to How You Fu’s excellent set at a 2014 The Next Big Thing TW showcase:
