about

The first masterpiece album in 18 years by sugar plant. Indie, acoustic, post-rock, ambient, deep house... Sugar Plant has been weaving genre-bending sounds since the 90s. The CD is finally now available in Bandcamp! The album might be Japan's response to the reevaluation of the shoegaze sound of the past few years, including the revival of Slowdive and Mazzy Star, and the mellow grooves of Rhye, Bonobo, and Cigarettes After Sex.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
