Randomly stumbled into the work of Dallas, TX musician
Kraus the other day and have been enjoying a deep dive into his offerings of wall-of-sound shoegaze. The latest full-length,
Path, is a wash of guitars and vocals; as you'd want and expect from a shoegaze records. I get hints of M83 and Deftones from the vocals from time to time; neither of which are meant as warnings or complaints, quite the opposite. Overall, it feels great to let yourself be immersed in the experience.
There's also a compilation of b-sides from
Path entitled
Idyll that leans more into the ambient and post-rock realm of compositions. It's a nice companion to the full record and could likely be shuffled into the main tracklisting for a little break from time to time.
If Bandcamp's not your thing, it's
streaming wherever. Give it a go.
