NEWS: The
SMiLE single
is available right now on red
7 inch vinyl!
"On this brief
7' (also available as a download with cd artwork), Reading, England's
Desdemona deliver a duo of perfectly paced songs that recall everything
great about mid-90's,guitar-based, dream pop. 'SMiLE' has floating male/female
vocals and a guitar flurry that equally grooves and soothes. The B-side
("The Beast") has an opening riff that sounds so much like
'Into Paradise'(the late,great Setanta band),but that's cool by me!
If you download the EP from arkade.com
you get a third track called 'Nonsambulist',and trust me,it's worth
it for Sarah's capricious vocal (unique and alluring),and more of Desdemona's
evolution into dreamy (wink to the 90's-intentional or not) guitar work."
