THIS MONTH: DROP NINETEENS DELAWARE
THIS MONTH’S FEATURED RECORD IS DELAWARE BY DROP NINETEENS. A SHOEGAZE CORNERSTONE THAT SOMEHOW FEELS BIGGER TODAY. RELEASED IN 1992, THE DEBUT ALBUM FROM THE BOSTON-BASED DROP NINETEENS AROSE AFTER HAVING LANDED SOME SERIOUS PRAISE FROM NME FOR THEIR DEMO “MAYFIELD”. THE BAND SHOWCASED A CERTAIN DREAMINESS THAT FELT MORE AMERICAN SUBURBIA THAN ENGLISH MOOR. IT’S MESSY, MELODIC, AND ENTIRELY ITS OWN. DELAWARE CAPTURES THE BEAUTY OF YOUTH IN MOTION. A MUST-OWN FOR ANYONE WHO’S EVER FELT OUT OF PLACE AND NEEDED THAT TO SOUND GOOD.
