REVIEW: Rain - Petrichor (single)

By Gig Monkey Swindon’s answer to Swervedriver return after a little break with a stunning slice of shimmering shoegaze titled ironically after the earthy smell of the first rain after a spell of dry weather.

This has all the usual hallmarks of the band – fuzzy guitars and hushed vocals sat in the guitar mix, but ups the ante with a more driven rhythm sound that drags the song along with a swagger rooted in a now pounding bass sound.

A step up that has resulted in their strongest tune to date. I for one cannot wait to hear what comes next.
