sexores

Nearly missed this, advance warning coming via a tweet which we only hooked uopon by sheer accident. Anyhow this is Sexores who hail from Barcelona of whom whose ‘red rooms’ EP might well be vying as our favourite thing at this very moment currently to be found in planet pop, that is discounting a new thing from Daisy Victoria. Might be best described as damaged dream pop for these five bitter sweet nuggets ache and charm with the fleeting allure of the much missed Melys at their most vulnerable and whose likeness and mesmeric touch graces the delicately demurred ‘USSR girls’ to such effect that you’d swear it being a lost track previously unearthed and rephrased by a faithfully in awe Dubstar. As to ‘daywalkers’ the more-keener eared among you might well draw comparisons in term of its sighing stateliness, vapour trailing yearn and orbiting seduction to Ummagma which is just as well for Alex from the duo pops up applying vocal guest duties. All said, and pretty much to type with us these days, best moment of the set by a country mile or more is the parting ‘loner’, an instrumental no less, emerging from a fog bound cosmic haze issuing forth with fading hope, lovelorn distress calls to a silent and unresponsive outside world, heartbreaking. https://sexores.bandcamp.com/album/red-rooms
