Pebbledash – “Killer Lover”
Ireland based four piece Pebbledash has a new single out, “Killer Lover” and it’s one we’ve grown quite fond of at the BLOG. The presser we got made comparisons to Pixies and Smashing Pumpkins (which isn’t inaccurate) but I felt a lot of early Modest Mouse vibes from this track (in particular, Fruit that Ate Itself era Modest Mouse). “Lover” is shoegazy and at times ethereal, especially with singer Fionnbharr singing parts in Gaelic (which I’ve always found a beautiful, if haunting language). The guitar truly does play second fiddle to the vocals, which sound like they were recorded on golden mics because every word sounds GORGEOUS and hangs in the air, almost solemnly.
You can hear “Killer Lover” below on YouTube or over on Spotify. I couldn’t tell you how many Irish acts we come across, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t too many – so definitely be sure to check this out.
