In a year when one of my musical highlights has been my discovery of the fabulous South Korean band Say Sue Me, here come their Singaporean equivalent. Taking a Shoegaze direction as opposed to Say Sue Me's more Indie Pop/ C-86 slant, Subsonic Eyes' second album. Dive Into, is a fine record. melodic, dreamy and atmospheric.
On Last Day they recreate the You Made Me Realise wind tunnel. Elsewhere they might be Liz Fraser fronting the early Cardigans. It's odd to see this music which is so reminiscent of old copies of Melody Maker Camden Town at its gloomiest, Radio 1 evening shows and so much else about the early Nineties take such a hold in South East Asia two and a half decades later and great to hear it all done so very well.
