About Sonic Delays
LOSING TODAY REVIEW OF 'SLEEP' (OCTOBER 2009) Of course this lot should be no strangers to regular patrons of these pages being that in the shape of ‘evil’ they’ve already delivered one of our favourite cuts of the year. ‘sleep’ as previously advertised is shrouded in more of what seems to be something of a trademark chilled shoe gaze aura or perhaps best described as a demurring distressed dream pop decoding that much coils and veers in similar buzz sawed bubblegum territories as the highly admired Insect Guide though here wired into its chassis the undeniable blissfully bathed tug of the Vaselines shimmer toned pop undercurrents as though meeting face on the mellowing sun scorched lilt of Chapterhouse. LOSING TODAY REVIEW OF 'ARE WE HERE?' (APRIL 2009) As is typical of these things no sooner do we post up a short mention for the Sonic Delays and the buggers only go and hot foot it into the studio to lay down a bit of a gem. ‘are we here?’ is cut in the finest tradition of dream pop trappings, a bitter sweetly bleary eyed babe silkily inoculated by a forlorn and faraway bliss fuelled demeanour and insulated amid a bathing of shimmering honey dripped fuzz tonalities, resonating feedback vapour trails and arcing opines of stratosphere piercing glazes this gorgeously statue-esque nugget which - if references are needed - falls somewhere between the cracks that separate a reclining My Bloody Valentine, Chapterhouse, Autodrone and the much loved Insect Guide. If they carry on with this almost casual ease in cutting stuff like this and ‘evil’ then there’s no telling where this will go, good things do indeed lie in wait. LOSING TODAY REVIEW OF 'EVIL' (FEBRUARY 2009) Located somewhere between shoe gaze, drone and deep psyche, ‘evil’ is lushly bathed with mind warping waves of meditative drone cycles, very much one for those impressed by the lysergic pop currencies of Cheval Sombre, Expo 70 and to a lesser extent My Bloody Valentine, the sound is entrancing, monastic and equipped with a consuming Cathedral-esque like transcendentalism of the type that you feel a trifle bit naked without the adorning of shades and the wearing of black. File under haunting and elegant and while you’re there throw in the obligatory epic and proceed to purchase.
