My buddy Gregg started interning at Captured Tracks and he edited this video of 90′s shoegaze band Deardarkhead preforming their track Oceanside on public access TV. He thought I might be interested in the video with my background in ocean engineering – and well, he was right (pretty sweet video Gregg). Captured Tracks is releasing a remastered version of their Oceanside: 1991-1993 LP, and had this to say about the band and the release:
“As the second contribution to Captured Tracks’ Shoegaze Archives series, deardarkhead offer 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 anonymously written Irish poem of the 18th century “Cean Dudh 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.”
