All Sensory Void has, up to this point, been Eric Goldberg. The project has been as eclectic as it has been prolific. Through four albums in the last two years, All Sensory Void has covered psychedelic guitar pop and dreamy shoegaze. As the band prepare the next release, Chasing Transcendence (February 2016), they've expanded to a trio. Brian DePhillis (drums / samples) and Danny Goldberg (bass / vocals) have joined Eric to round things out. Today, they're giving us the first glimpse of what to expect from All Sensory Void's first full-band effort in the form of "Romantically Hopeless."
"Romantically Hopeless" is another foray into the world of dream pop for All Sensory Void. Throughout the verse, the chiming guitar and driving rhythm section recall something like The Cure or some of their more recent acolytes. Eric Goldberg sings of his romantic hopelessness -- "Yea, I know how to want you but not how to say I want you to stay" -- as the song goes into its final explosive chorus, adding some jagged edges to the shimmering guitars. The song rides a roughly three-minute instrumental outro that highlights the new, full-band approach.
Engineered, mixed, and mastered by Skylar Adler, "Romantically Hopeless" is a pretty exciting preview of where All Sensory Void are headed. Check out the song below, and stay tuned for news on Chasing Transcendence.
