A pretty tune from Aspen Woods off of their debut LP, New World Disorder, which came out the first of this year, but I’m just jumping on the train now.  A shoegazy/psychedelic band from Bristol England, Aspen Woods recorded the majority of the album live to give the sound a genuine feel to it.  But it seems like one of their best features are their freaked-out psychedelic live shows which you can get a taste of in the videos below.  A lot of reviewers are comparing them to JAMC but that might be too obvious of a comparison (just because they classify themselves as shoegaze) to me it sounds like a louder or looser Doves, at least with this song. Other songs are way more complex than any older JAMC three chord song (they are like the ramones of shoegaze). Vocally it reminds me a bit of Clinic. Ok, i’ll stop annoying you with more comparisons:
