28 Degrees Taurus es una banda procedente de Boston formada por Jinsen Liu (guitarras y voces) y Karina Dacosta (bajo y voces). Curiosamente para la grabación de este disco han trabajado con cuatro baterías distintos, depende de cada canción. Ellos definen su estilo como shoegaze psicodélico y seguramente no les falte razón. Ciertamente recuerdan a muchos grupos de finales de los ochenta y principios de los noventa y ese sonido nos encanta.
Su último trabajo publicado el pasado mes de abril se titula Mirror & Gates y el primer single extraído es el extraordinario Vast Majestic.
red suns and red skies abound
something's still calling me now
set sail and it won't be long
i wanna be by the seaside
and i wanna watch these cares wash away!
lose myself in its mysteries
i wanna feel something magical today
someday and it won't be long
i'll be back home again in your arms
but for now i just have to go roam
i wanna be by the seaside
and i wanna watch these cares wash away
i don't care where we're going
theres nothing you can say to make me stay
sometimes when its late at night
and when the waves are calm
you can see every star in the sky
north stars and northern lights
neptune dreams and mermaid eyes
home can be wherever we roam
sunny days idyllic nights
midsummer dreams are burning bright
we’re a thousand miles from home
red suns and red skies abound
someday and it won’t be long
i’ll be back home again in your arms
for now I just have to go roam
i wanna be by the seaside
and i wanna watch my cares wash away!
lose myself in its mysteries
i wanna feel something magical today
En sus letras suele haber alguna referencia astronómica, quizás la más clara sea el tema Galaxies Revisited (Redux). Este es un tema recuperado y remezclado de un anterior trabajo de 2007 titulado Aquarian Love.
rain gently washes away all my fears
of going back to my star home
hey look up into the sky
i've i've been i've been flying too close to the sunshine
its home and its gently calling me home
to a place where i belong
stars slowly merge into view
i can see i can see that everything's going to be fine yeah
theres peace in the cosmos today
and i can i can see i can a million suns shine
its home and its gently calling me home
to a place where i belong
rain gently washes away all my fears
of going back to my star home
hey look up into the sky
i've i've been i've been flying too close to the sunshine
its home and its gently calling me home
to a place where i belong
Es un grupo del que no tenía ninguna referencia y me ha sorprendido bastante. Tienen varios trabajos editados desde el 2007 que espero resulten igual de interesantes. Ahora es momento de escucharlos.
