Brighton's Winter Gardens have continued to impress. Tagged shoegaze on account of some early singles, the group's certainly branched out into other styles. Vocalist Ananda Howard leads the music into other territory, and the players behind her, including Jamie Windless, follow suit.
The group's new single is called "Moonjockey", and it's an early taster for upcoming EP, Instinct Not Logic. The sound here is part synth-rock, but it's more space-y and spacious than that. It's the sound of New Wave taking flight, with the hook being perhaps the biggest one yet pursued by these folks.
