Implodes are a fairly new band to me, although they've been around for quite some time. Thus little expectations did I have. But regardless whether you already know this band or you haven't ever heard of them: "Recurring Dream" is a very pleasant album to listen to. At least if you like very drawn out, reverb heavy shoegaze music (yeah, even for shoegaze) with some drone influences. Especially the second track 'Scattered in the Wind' is absolutely astonishing and definitely one of my all-time favorite songs in this genre (and quite suiting for road trips). The whole album has a very interesting psychedelic feel to it that enables the sometimes repetetive songs to sustain tension. All the while it's very soothing and invites the listener to some daydreaming disgress. Well, what more can I say... time for you to see it for yourself.
