EP Storm in a Tea Cup byMelbourne shoegaze bandThe Fakes .Background
Returning to the studio a year after the release of their debut EP, the follow up would indeed prove be sonically a leap forward for the band; full of haunting angelic vocals and layered reverb soaked guitar lines. This second outing revealed a darker side of the band both lyrically and compositionally with some listeners describing a borderline gothic feel to the music edging on
dark wave .The EP got some good, by-the-numbers reviews but eventually the genre, namely
shoegaze lived up to it’s reputation of not being radio friendly and hence commercially accessible by a wider community of listeners.Track listing
