We are going to take you back to November of 2025, and point you in the direction of Californian based shoegaze band, Intercurrent, and their debut single “Arrows.” An extra exciting titbit is the fact that sometime, around mid-year, they will also be dropping an EP.
This is a two track release with “Fall Asleep,” as the b-side that introduces you to the sound of Intercurrent. The light and delicate vocals backed with flourishing guitars one moment, and in the next blurring into a wall of sonic noise, with that voice riding the top of it. Meanwhile, the title track, “Arrows” has a darker edge to it, slowly unravelling in a dreamlike way, until it takes off in a most glorious surge. Vocals and guitars droning together, wrapping around each other to the very end.
Intercurrent follow in the rich musical footsteps shoegaze bands, such as Lush and Slowdive with Rachel Goswell, where the female vocals give them a beautiful ethereal quality. The “Arrows” single is a free download and it definitely hits the right spot.
