Single/Download Review

Astronauts
In My Direction Lo Recordings, download

Article written by Ged M - Feb 9, 2015

Another melodic little gem from the Hollow Ponds album, ‘In My Direction’ is gentle, hazy psych full of scintillating guitars, tinkling keyboards and breathy vocals, but the song reveals darker tones as it opens out into full-blown dreampop. Keiron Mahon’s remix of ‘Everything’s A System, Everything’s A Sign’, meanwhile, has spacey arrangements and a bitter mantra – “we can’t just do what we like” - but that insistent beat drags you into its hook-filled interior. This is the perfect accompaniment for winter reflections on dark evenings.
