DREAM WAVE Featured Artist – AVERKIOU
Averkiou – “The New Imperative EP”
This week’s Extended Play featured artist is Averkiou. Based in the quaint college town of sunny Gainesville, Florida, Averkiou has been rocking the stage for several years with their custom brand of shoegaze / alternative rock. Their latest release “The New Imperative” is a brilliant and much anticipated follow up to their previous work. They went nearly 3 years without a single track and I was beginning to wonder if they had called it quits. Then out of the blue last week I stumbled upon their brand new 4 song EP “The New Imperative” that had me jumping for joy as I rushed to check it out.
I understand there has been a change in the member line-up however David Quarles is still heading up the group. The quality of the music has certainly not suffered from this change and their overall sound is still spot on with their classic alternative rock style. The best track on the entire EP for me is most definitely “Go Matsumoto!”. Like a lot of Avekiou tunes it rolls along with a fairly fast paced beat but features lofty vocals drenched in just the right amount of reverb which gives it a really nice touch. If you’re an avid Averkiou fan like me you’re going to need this on vinyl along with a cover art t-shirt from Sound Study Recordings. I highly recommend the orange vinyl if it’s still available.
Head over to their Indie Darkroom profile, become a fan, say hi and rate their music for more airplay on the Indie Darkroom. – Steven Newcastle

The Foreign Resort & Drowner Make Music History
Stand Back (Stevie Nicks) remake
Recently Drowner and The Foreign Resort took to the studio (in Texas and Denmark respectively) and collaborated on a brilliant remake of Stevie Nicks’ “Stand Back”. This stunning track glimmers and shines in all the right places and reminisces of early music heroes like New Order, Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine.
As a fan of both artists I probably shouldn’t be surprised that this remake is so good but my instinct tells me that it’s better than that. In fact, the vocals from Anna Bouchard (Drowner) and Mikkel (The Foreign Resort) are so good in this collaborative effort I’m keeping my fingers crossed for more projects between these two groups on some originals in the future. – Steven Newcastle

UPDATE! – The Foreign Resort and Drowner share the stage at SXSW for an impromptu performance of “Stand Back”!
