Rolemodel - Claire

by ROLEMODEL

supported by

Philipp Easy-on-the-ears alternative pop on this short album (or long EP). The vocals could use a little less effects on them, they’re so aspirated on tracks like “Trans Canada Misery” and “Cruel Intensions”. Still, the record is very much enjoyable. Favorite track: Teen Idol.

“The Toronto band blends confessional themes and dreamy shoegaze” – POP MATTERS

“ROLEMODEL meet new wave and shoegaze in the middle, weaving sparkling synths around intricate guitar work and lyrical introspection” – COMPLEX

“The music of Rolemodel is often described as “dreamy,” “hazy,” “ethereal” – the list of adjectives with nods to the subconscious go on – and continues on “Until,” an intoxicating new track” – FLAVORWIRE

“the sticky, hazy, dreamy thing that gets stuck in your mind on a humid July afternoon” – OUT MAGZINE

“a downtempo emotional journey with a killer chorus synth hook” – SILENT SHOUT

“Sculptant ses mélodies pop atmosphériques au moyen d’une lead guitar fluette ou perçant dans un halo de synthétiseurs à grandes envolées lyriques, l’originaire de Toronto n’hésite pas à libérer l’électricité quand il s’agit d’enquiller ses refrains ou ralentir gravement le tempo” – HARTZINE

“ROLEMODEL bring ’80s new wave music into the 21st century by mixing electronic and shoegaze elements with flair” – EXCLAIM!

I bought Drowned in a Sea of Sound the day it was released, and it is one of my dearest possessions. I followed their blogspot and hung dearly onto any word, for all 10 years, afraid they'd never release another album. But here they are, as though they'd never left. The Daysleepers have the sonic beauty of Slowdive, the haze of Bloody Valentine, and the vocals of Airiel and Cocteau Twins, yet I prefer them over all the above. This album was well worth the wait.
