New Gods Release Debut Album Beloved

New Gods Release Debut LP

NEW GODS

HYPNOTIC, HYPNAGOGIC

DEBUT LP

BELOVED

OUT TODAY

Emerging from Melbourne, NEW GODS have justified their ironic band name in an entirely un-ironic way.  Their debut LP Beloved takes the best of 90s indie rock gods like Pavement and the Pixies, filtering it through the studio wizardry of Dave Fridmann and the tape-warp hallmarks of hypnagogic pop.  The result is truly unique.  Thematically coherent as it explores vast sonic territory, Beloved is a welcome left-field contender for the best album of the year.

EXPERIENCE BELOVED HERE

This is one of those groups that for me you would have to be in the mood for.  This isn’t one you would rock out to by any means.  This is one that you would put in on a lazy day or hazy day when the weather is dreary.  The group has a good sound, but in some songs the lead singer gets lost in the music and becomes muddy so you can’t quite understand him.  The interface above that they have with the release is really cool for us older listener’s (giving us a little feel of nostalgia).  I’m not sure if today’s crowd, unless they are into music, will appreciate the cassette reference.  The gallery is also a nice touch to give listeners a different experience.

New Gods New Single

New Gods are the most recent Australian band blowing minds (and earphones) and their newest track “Razorblades” show the absolute best of the band and the spacey psych pop that they specialize in. Coming from the ashes of Little Red, the boys from New Gods play the kind of laid-back electro that we’ve come to love from the Melbourne scene – it’s breezy, loud and makes us really wish it were summer already. The video for the track is a kaleidoscope of images, matching the song perfectly. Check it out below and make sure to check out the rest of their self-titled EP, we promise it’s all just as good as this.
