Wombadelic

The bass sound in today's jungle lacks the wobbly glee and wombadelic warmth of hardcore rave; instead, there's the sinister radioactive glow of the 'Dread Bass' sound, or dry, metallic, atonal B-lines that palpitate joylessly and tunelessly.

At times, it adds up to an earthier version of My Bloody Valentine's wombadelic bliss, most apparent on the standout "Electric Surgery."

The band’s playing cuts off their new album MAKE OUT ROOM (release date TBA). They do what Black Kids are doing, but rather than lean on the wombadelic shoegazer side, they tend more towards Gary Numan. In such a good way.

To this day, listening to Loveless feels like swimming in a warm bath of opiates and lust. It’s a primal, wombadelic, every-direction, every-color echo of what it feels like to be human, to be a mess of synapses, sexual desire, anxiety, obsession, fears, and hopes.

Is there anything more comforting than drone? It’s the wombadelic sound of pre-ego existence, the sonic warmth of a life free from the burdens of the world, music awash in the primal need to express our thoughts through sound.

As tempting as it is to indulge my wee-lad love of all things dream pop and compare Star’s fresh take on shoegaze to early-90s wombadelic practitioners
