Words: Ellie Ward
Prior to their heading back to the UK next month, Dutch alt-shoegaze trio Stillwave gave just released their new single, 'From Here'.
Recorded at Mailmen Studios in Utrecht, 'From Here' follows previous works 'Modes of Transport', 'Tarmac Plains' and 'Slow Binders', and is the latest taste of what may be forthcoming on the debut album from the band whose influences are the likes of The National, Slowdive and The Cure.
'From Here' carries shades of melodic darkness about it, despite its fairly uptempo melody. Delivered in the band's distinctive vocal style that conveys both lightness and intensity, which is laid over lush reverb drenched guitars, and hypnotically resonant drums that steadily build to a resounding finish.
Catch Stillwave live at Centre Spot, Sheffield on July 23, and The Washington, Sheffield on July 24. Check their Facebook page for further dates, including a London show.
