Product Description
Contents: Includes CD-exclusive bonus tracks. From Estonia, Pia Fraus, the shoegaze/dream pop giants loved by shoegaze listeners worldwide, presents their latest work, 'Evening Colours'! Pia Fraus, a central band in the Eastern European shoegaze/dream pop scene, is releasing their first new album since 2020, 'Evening Colours'! Formed in 1999 by six art students in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, Pia Fraus has supported the Eastern European shoegaze scene for over 20 years. They have previously released albums on America's top shoegaze label, Shelflife Records, and even performed in Japan in 2019, earning the trust of shoegaze/dream pop listeners around the world. The long-awaited seventh album, "Evening Colours," is centered around Pia Fraus' signature comfortable, dreamy sound and roaring shoegaze, but is also colorfully infused with new elements through synths and chorus work. The album starts with "French Exit," where a comfortable time flows along with soft, dreamy roars, and in the third track, the title track "Evening Colours," Pia Fraus's signature smooth vocals melt into a dreamy soundscape, instantly drawing you into a dream world. The retro synth sound, which is also key in the fourth track, "Sunny Afternoon," is a new feature of this work, and it has the effect of warping the image to another space within the shoegaze-dream pop genre. While mixing in new styles, this album also contains many songs that are reminiscent of Pia Fraus's past work, and in particular, the time spent listening to "Cloud Winterland" makes you feel as if you are chilling on a cloud?it's a perfect 100 points Pia Fraus and simply irresistible! The album as a whole retains elements of roaring shoegaze while creating an easy-to-listen-to album that evokes a comfortable afternoon feeling. The CD also includes a bonus track: a cover of My Bloody Valentine's "Sunny Sundae Smile"!
