Album Club #1 – Cocoro
This week was the first week of WREK’s newest initiative, ‘Album Club‘! Every week we pick a new album to listen to together in the station. More information can be found at the #album-club channel in our slack!
For our first pick, we chose ‘Cocoro‘ by Plastic Girl in Closet! The album is described as dream-pop/shoegaze.
Our Thoughts:
- A lot lighter and playful take on shoegaze, not as grimy and condensed compared to western shoegaze
- Closer to My Bloody Valentine than other shoegaze bands, specifically Loveless with its glide-guitar
- Melodies seem to have a J-Pop influence
- Clear vocals contrast it against other typical shoegaze albums.
- Lots of abrasive guitar with contrasting breezy vocals
- ‘Best of both worlds’: pop songwriting and heavy instrumentation tamed by good mixing.
- Album started out more accessible, slowly evolved and added dissonance and resolutions.
Our Rating: 3.73/5
