Labasheeda
Changing Lights (blue Transparent)
"Changing Lights, the latest release from Labasheeda, is a prickly collection of songs that leaves the listener with a lot on their mind. The whole record is saturated with a spiky, unsettling feel a little like, maybe, Throwing Muses, with added hardcore edges. Saskia van der Giessen's vocals are affecting throughout, at times lilting and lovely. But it's when she's at her snarliest that the sparks fly." Selling Points: Tying together a decade of adventurous, sound-evolving albums and changing lineups, Labasheeda's music has a penchant for concise, stripped down melodies, and for albums that travel from spacious bass lines and drums to heavy, chaotic, and sometimes anthemic guitar driven songs. LP on transparent blue vinyl. Recorded at the Next to Jaap Studio, Voorhout. Recorded and mixed by Corno Zwetsloot.
