| Wreaths join Gainesville's Ancient River and Jersey City's Overlake tonight at The Saint. |
The Saint has a night of psychedelia and shoegaze on tap for this evening as Gainesville, Florida duo Ancient River join New Jersey's Overlake and Wreaths. I'm thinking that effects pedals will litter The Saint's stage tonight as each of these bands offer the opportunity to lose yourself in some atmospheric drones.
Ancient River have alternated releases over the last three or four years between Americana and psychedelia. Their latest psych record, 2012's Let It Live, melds those two sensibilities in some places -- on track "All My Friends," for example -- to deliver 21st century sounds filtered through a 1960s haze.
Asbury Park's Wreaths released their debut full-length earlier this year. It borrows sounds from almost every version of noisy, guitar-based rock, layering them over some hypnotic Krautrock beats. Wreaths contains everything from psychedelia to space rock to shoegaze to extended blues jams. The band are already putting the finishing touches on their second LP and will, likely, share some of that tonight.
Wreaths' Killing Horse Records labelmates, Overlake, also released their debut this year. Sighs, which I reviewed for United By Rocket Science, is like an encyclopedia of late-80s and early-90s shoegaze and post-punk and sits squarely in my wheelhouse. The Jersey City-based band doesn't make it down this way too, too often; so tonight is an excellent chance to catch them do their thing.
Doors tonight are at 7:30 and 8 bucks gets you inside.
