Flywheel - Stop Looking at Her
Flywheel takes us on an exhilarating, psychedelic alt-pop journey with the impressive 'Stop Looking at Her'! The Irish psychadelic dream pop group from Cork make a stunning return de force with 'Stop Looking at Her'. Being deeply inspired by the works of the My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, Gilla Band and others, Flywheel taps into that soul-stirring, roof shaking, aggression-packed sound that the late 80s, early 90s were known for. Combining elements of rock, shoegaze, pop, punk, psychadelic and electronic to deliver something truly special. This feels like it could be a supporting score for 'Requiem For a Dream'. Its that intense and catharsis-inducing. It opens with disorienting distortions, crashing rhythms and deadpan vocals, luring into a daze deeper and deeper. It doesn't seem to have a end in sight and just then, the track explodes to brilliant, vibrant life, the riffs elevating the opus to sky high levels, drenched in epic levels of distortions and reverb. Despite the chaos around, the vocals remain calm and centered as ever. Its this gripping contrast that strikes as particularly brilliant. 'Stop Looking at Her' is brilliantly composed and structured, with the right amount of space and depth to allow for the heaviness to really hit home. Fans of intelligent, intense, shoegaze dream pop will savor this one! We're thrilled to see Flywheel back to doing what they do best after an extended hiatus. While most modern pop group stick to the safe, sanitized, trend-fitting sounds, Flywheel is doing quite the opposite. And we're all for it!
