In the early to mid nineties, fuzzy guitars and pumping bass lines were de
rigueur. Basing their sound on the sonic experimentations of My Bloody Valentine
and, before that, Jesus & Mary Chain, Ride and the Cocteau Twins,
a whole bunch of bands, most of them British, found themselves at the heart
of a hype that would, for a few months, set Britain and, to a lesser extend
the rest of the world on fire. Dykehouse's
full-length
debut Midrange is a brilliant pop/rock album filled
with dense textures and instrumentations and is a homage to the shoegaze genre.
Midrange at once looks back and forward, echoing high school record collections
as well as a future filled with limitless peaks. Lead single 'Chain Smoking' is an indelibly
catchy song with an aching heart that isn't afraid to reveal itself,
managing to be both experimental and extremely radio-friendly. Elsewhere, buzzing
bass and soaring guitars establish Dykehouse's ear for beauty and melody,
while brief instrumental passages punctuate the flow of gorgeous pop with lush
synthesizers. Midrange is pure
dreampop - the kind historically perfected by the Pale Saints, the House of
Love, and My Bloody Valentine. It's as if this record were
buried in 1989, only to be rediscovered and released fifteen years after it
should've been.. Dykehouse raises the ghosts of the Stone Roses with 'One
More Day' and 'Burden of Proof' while
paying homage to the Jesus and Mary Chain with 'Drown Inside of Me.' The
band has no problem with keeping things simple when they need to be, but they
also knows how to add texture when his recipe calls for it. On its face, Midrange
nears perfection, and it is just so easy
to get lost in the transcending nature of this record.
