One of my favourite modern shoegaze bands is WHIRR. Their AROUND EP was released shortly before summer this year and consists of 4 tracks which are slow, melancholic and pretty heavy. If it weren't for the dreamy female vocals, this release would probably have been labeled as post-metal rather than shoegaze: their sound on this EP has just as much in common with bands like Isis and Jesu, as it has with My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive. Besides the fact that it's on beautiful coloured vinyl, it also has a very nice spiral-cut sleeve. Looks great! A very nice EP to keep the fans happy, and i can't wait for a new full length to be released.
