A decade after bands like Lush, Slowdive and Ride rose and fell into obscurity, Tearwave comes to fill the void. Not just a re-creation of things tried and true, but a decade wiser and mature. Tearwave integrates sounds echoed from the spectrum of Shoegaze music, yet rarely mimics their influences; Tearwave takes their cues then creates a whole new supernova of sound for a current generation of indie-rock listeners. Drawing on the past but moving towards the future, their self-titled debut is the soundtrack of dreams, equally perfect for days of internal reflection, overcast Sundays in bed or moonlit graveyard walks.<\/p>\n<p>Jenn Manganiello\u2019s luscious vocals dig deep into the listener&#8217;s subconscious soul with her red-wine melodies and the distant warmth of her lyrics. Doug White\u2019s guitars and keyboards soothe and drive with melodic darkness. John Stephanski&#8217;s arsenal of rare vintage drums and percussive instruments lay a pounding foundation while Joe Villella&#8217;s solid bass battens down the hatches to round out Tearwave&#8217;s monumental sound.<\/p>\n<p>Tearwave&#8217;s compact, tight and driving songs are infused with an uneasy haunting aura; their music is dark and moody with an edge of troubling inspiration. This spellbinding sound has the genre&#8217;s enthusiasts spreading a frenzied buzz about Tearwave. U.S. and Europe Shoegaze and Darkwave message boards and blogs have been full of Tearwave references since the band&#8217;s appearance on MySpace just a few months ago.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;Swirling walls of intricately layered sounds; an echo chamber for the heart; dense soundscapes bearing the full range of the emotional world, and simply dark and lush like a Victorian opium den. Music that really touches the soul, Jenn&#8217;s voice is like an angel. For people who love Shoegaze, we&#8217;ve been waiting for this ever since Lush broke up.&#8221; &#8211; leftist librarian, a Tearwave fan. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;Tearwave is a slow drift into a lazy hinterland populated with broken statues, desolate forests and shimmering spirits. A luminous dreamscape brilliantly outlined with mourning guitars and reverberation. Crystalline voices filter through the miasma and resonate the soul. Each song a guided journey of human emotion and raw power.&#8221; &#8211; Somnium7, a Tearwave fan. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Their MySpace hit \u201cLotus Flower\u201d cements Tearwave as a Projekt-peer of Autumn&#8217;s Grey Solace, Lycia and Love Spirals Downwards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00197%2F&t=Tearwave+%28CD%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00197%2F&text=Tearwave+%28CD%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00197%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/PRO00197.jpg&description=+%0D%0A+%0D%0A\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00197%2F&title=Tearwave+%28CD%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"color:red;\">This item is out of print, and here for historical reasons.<\/h3>\n<div class=\"desc-col\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n<a href=https:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/tearwave-name-your-price TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1355,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,105,101,100],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1354","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-alternative-rock","product_cat-dreampop","product_cat-shoegaze","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-external","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1354"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1354"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1354"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
