If Deaf Star looked in the mirror, you’d find them making all sorts of faces. Twisting grins, contorting brows, pulling their cheeks up, down, out, and in. The Barcelona-based project are unafraid to shy away from the oversaturated shoegaze resurgence, instead finding a way to make it their own.
Today, Post-Trash is thrilled to premiere “Dim Times,” the third and final preview before Deaf Star’s forthcoming LP Sunset Overdrive. “Dim Times” finds Ivan Zoloto tangling a classic shoegaze chord progression with gauzy, staticky bridges. The track’s raw production is both colorful and melancholic, like nodding off on a sunny day.
Sunset Overdrive is out 6/5. Listen to “Dim Times” below.
