Thank you! 🙏🏼 Glad you are enjoying it
My band @paastel.bsky.social has a new single out, which I think is our best one yet. Take a listen and let me know what you think: open.spotify.com/track/1KUQ5o...
NEW MUSIC! We are excited to share our 3rd single, "Angles" - featuring the ethereal vocals of A. Amaril. Available now via @bandcamp.com, Spotify and all other digital stores. paastel.bandcamp.com/track/angles
With Sympathy is the best Ministry album. Fight me.
It's a Beach House kind of day
I’ve been off socials for a bit. How’s everyone doing?
Thank you for adding “On Promises” to this amazing playlist 🙏🏼
Thanks for the kind words and signal boost 🙏🏼
Okay, been down another darkwave/synthpop rabbit hole since last night, and just found out that @vandalmoon.bsky.social has another band that's Gothy Shoegaze and yeah, this shit SLAPS.
If you dig on Gothy stuffs, check this out!!!!!
Have you heard our second single, “On Promises?” open.spotify.com/track/7obso9...
Been AWOL for a bit due to the fires. Was not personally affected but just didn’t have much drive to use social media while it was going on.
Spotify screenshot showing the single “On Promises” passing 20k streams.
Excited to share that “On Promises” just passed 20,000 streams on Spotify. Not bad for a new band’s 2nd single!
LVX also has a looper but no tuner
This is so cool
You should go for it! Guitar is such an amazing instrument, and I find playing very meditative as well
It’s the Meris LVX. It’s a really deep delay with tons of modulation options and some extra digital effects.
I tried to add another reverb (with stereo reverse) but it has side I/O so can’t really squeeze it in. Might move the Walrus Polychrome from board #2 to add flanging. Or we might go shopping. Any suggestions?
Still room for one more. What should I add?
My pedalboard #3. Octo Psi into Screen Violence into LVX into Slöer
#guitarsky Pedalboard #3, pure shoegaze/dreampop bliss
Thanks to Oleada Indie for this nice writeup of "On Promises": oleadaindie.com/bienvenido-a...
Nice! Excited to check it out
Top 5 #GBV albums (according to me):
1. Bee Thousand
2. Propeller
3. Alien Lanes
4. Under the Bushes, Under the Stars
5. Vampire on Titus
Congrats on the release! Looking forward to checking it out
I know the feeling. I’m doing a new board that’s going to start with the Keeley Octo PSI and then go into an amp modeler (not sure which one yet), then an OBNE Screen Violence and finally the LVX
The Meris LVX is incredible but it’s a delay/mod machine only. The other options are significantly broader, but not nearly as good at delay/mod effects.
Hello new followers! My general rule is to follow anyone back who engages, so come say hi - tell me who you are and what awesome stuff you’ve been up to
Super excited for my Keeley Octo Psi to arrive #guitarsky
California gothwave/shoegaze from @paastel.bsky.social with a driving Interpol type bassline/beat, and shoegaze guitar choruses. featuring Blake Voss of Vandal Moon. paastel.bandcamp.com/track/on-pro...
That’s true, though not sure it’s in the cards for me. That said…suuuper tempted.
