Comment: by remembering the end of the 00s and
the beginning of the 10s then you probably perceived fresh air around your head
and shoulder due to appearance of many groups and artists who used to come out of
home basements and on the other side there were up a shitloads of blogs who
were eager to push them up. This kind of collaboration brought many great
groups to the limelight, however, most of them ceased to continue their way.
For instance, one such a great platform was CLLCT, being a platform for so many
mostly US-based DIY singer-songwriters.
People behind the Austin-based
Killredrocketrecords have made great efforts to gather together artists to
compile some voluminous compilations for representation of then-Zeitgeist
tendencies within the DIY underground artists. Jesus in Space? Firstly it
reminds of Jason Pierce aka Jason Spaceman`s relation to the God due to some references
in a couple of songs by Spiritualized. Indeed, there are represented 40 songs
mozst of them are heavily shoegaze-y in the vein of all those pre-eminent
British bands appeared in the end of the 80s and in the beginning of the 90s.
Some of them are more noisy, some of the, are more fuzzed-up, some of them more
spaced-out and adorned with field recording bits. Of course, the listener
should not underestimate a burden of post-punk and psychedelic pop elements
within these songs harking back to earlier decades rather than mentioned above.
Indeed, reverb-heavy vocal lines, thumping drum machines and synthesised sonic
vamps above add something special to the melting pot. Furthermore, there are up
some ditties which have got inspiration from the club music scene. Actually it
is very sad by watching this enormous list of artists because most of them say nothing
about today anymore. However, the imprint`s heritage due to these miscellanies makes
sense by discovering this enthusiastic chapter in the pop music history. It is still inspiring.
