As the second contribution to Captured Tracks’ Shoegaze Archives series, DEARDARKHEAD offers their brilliant take on the genre with Oceanside 1991-1993. The New Jersey-based band was formed in 1988 with their name taken from an anonomously written Irish poem of the 18th century, “Cean Dubh Dilis,” about a beautiful girl with black hair. Their sound perfectly blends post-punk guitar experimentalism with a heavy atmospheric dreampop aura, similar to Pale Saints and Ride. This release is completely remastered, some track are previously unreleased and none of the tracks have every been on vinyl. CD includes bonus tracks which also appear on the LP-included download.
