Still Corners - Wish

Have you fallen in love with Still Corners yet ? If Endless Summer (blogged here) didn’t at least make you want to sit on the beach holding hands and stare up at the starlit night sky with the most beautiful girl / boy of your dreams, then please check your pulse. You may be officially dead. Assuming however that the romance was there, here’s the moment when you both kiss. It’s a song called Wish.

Wish is one side of the bands new double A-side 7” single. It’s a thing of winsome beauty created from soft focus acoustic guitar picking and gentle single key piano work. It’s so light and vapidly beautiful we could almost imagine it evaporating as we listen. Subdued, elegant and ghostly - an enchanting moment of spectral pop. Wish is released through The Great Pop Supplement on August 20th.

Lovely. They're like the reincarnation of Slowdive...

This sounds like a far less foreboding Julee Cruise...

Kim. Yes I've seen Julee Cruise mentioned a lot in relation to Still Corners, and Pete yes... Slowdive is def a reference point, (Slowdive and Rachel Goswells solo album are highly recommended by Breaking More Waves folks.....)
