Drop Nineteens - Winona (Hut, 1992)

Drop Nineteens, Winona, Shoegaze, mp3, 1992, Hut Records, Loveless
Shifting, droning, soaring slice of preppy Shoegaze.

No big fanfares seem to be marking the twentieth anniversary of Drop Nineteens' debut album but 'Winona' is a thrilling piece of slidey-guitared Shoegaze business.

Obviously in thrall to 'Loveless', Boston (USA, not Lincolnshire) band Drop Nineteens rise above their influences with the dreamy, melodic noise pop which sounds like about three records playing at once. The vocal and drums hold it all together as guitars churn and spin around, mixing sweetness with dischord.
