Sharesprings

Sharesprings are a brilliantly noisy pop band from Jakarta, Indonesia. I came upon them on MySpace a couple months ago, probably. I'd planned on mentioning them way earlier – as they're awesome – but they fell through the cracks. They're self-described "tweegazers" and their influences include Yo La Tengo, early My Bloody Valentine, Rocketship. They bring together breathy, reverbed-soaked vocals and noisy, swirling, reverb-soaked guitars to create beautiful soundscapes built upon catchy pop melodies!

They've appeared on several compilations and self-released their Ceiling Blossom demo earlier this year. Here's a song from that demo – it's called "Unclouded" and I'm pretty sure you'll love it! It reminds me quite a bit of early Ride with those ringing guitars and that vocal melody – and just wait until the end when the feedback starts flaring up! Ahh, fantastic!

[MP3]: Sharesprings :: Unclouded (Very Highly Recommended!)

Sharesprings will be part of the Supersonic Sound Fest Tour in Indonesia starting off December 19 in the band's hometown – and capital of Indonesia – Jakarta. The lineup includes other great bands like Astrolab, MellonYellow, Sarin, and The Milo – just to name a few. A poster with the rest of the bands and the dates can be found HERE! If you happen to be in Indonesia, you should definitely check it out!
