*The original KEXP live stream was audio-only, but this the full video!

FINALLY!  First MV and title track of the new album from Sobs   =D

What can I say, this is a super catchy tune and a cute low budget clip - in other words, it’s perfect!

Listen/purchase: Unearth by Subsonic Eye

First single from the upcoming album Nature of Things (due in mid January) by Singapore dreampop/shoegaze band Subsonic Eye   =D

The first 2:30 is a very catchy dreampop tune, and then they sabotage their pop efforts with some detuned guitars, and finally conclude with a minute of a noisy end-of-song hold, LOL.  XD

Well, if it was up to me, I’d suggest releasing a single version that fades out before all the weirdness ensues, and then radio deejays would have no trouble getting this on the air.  Just my opinion, don’t yell at me.  =)

Let’s hear the song The Tired Club from their 2018 album Dive Into, this is really melodic shoegaze, a perfect song:

Nur Wahidah-voc/synth, Daniel Borces-gtr, Jared Lim-gtr (Sobs), Spencer-bass, Lucas Tee-drums 

YouTuber Anthony Arce uploaded Sobs full set from yesterday, check it out! 

No audience except the invisible people at home, but Celine is still dancing around and supplying the energy we need.  =D

Celine Autumn-voc, Jared Lim-gtr (also in SUBSONIC EYE, solo as Jorud-Bandcamp), Raphael Michael Ong-gtr.   

The full live band includes: Zhang Bo-bass/b. voc (Cosmic Child), Shaun Khiu-drums (ex-Monster Cat) and Soffi Peters aka Sofklo.
