You very rarely get two new singles from a band within a span of days, but then again, when you’re as veiled as the Los Angeles shoegaze band Luster, there’s usually good reason as to why you may want to disrupt the pattern of our air. The timing makes sense. At week’s end, many of their heroes from the genre’s past and present waves such as Nothing, Whirr, and Swervedriver will be collecting in Brooklyn for the first of this year’s editions of the bicoastal Slide Away festival, and they’ll be emerging from their own enigma status to take the stage as part of them in one capacity or another. It can be very easy right now to be cynical about the revivalism of shoegaze diminishing itself into lesser mood-stabilizing reward due to an oversaturation of soundalikes, but as with “Sunday”, Luster’s other new single highlight “Close My Eyes” is proof that the scene’s modern bands can master the art of transforming loud waves into lushly dense, amorphous layers while still finding ways to insert new romantic nuances between the wall of sound. Here, it’s the trickling effect of synthetic loops and lust loudly booming through that mesmerize your senses. “And I want you / And I see you / And I need you.” Do as the listen asks of you, and it can offer an escape from the monotony surrounding you.

Luster’s “Close My Eyes” single is available now on The Funeral Party.
