DOWNLOAD: Love Is Chemicals - Our Darkest Days and Nights

Happy shoe-gaze? An oxymoron you say? Not till you've heard Love Is Chemicals. Think Interpol-esque distortion with slow, leisurely builds - teamed with poppy, optimistic lyrics. Check out the song "Our Darkest Days and NIghts" from their second album, "Song of The Summer Youth Brigage" to taste for yourself. While the song title may sound dismal, you'll may find yourself slightly beating your knuckles on the radiator grates to the upbeat tune. "We were happy all those days and nights we slept under those filthy nights." Indeed.

Sounds Like: Interpol, Red Guitars, Jazz Butcher

The Austin-by-way-of-LA band A Faulty Chromosome churns out really soft, fuzzed out distortion and slurry sing-speak that the Brits do so well. Yet their music is not overly melodramatic like most My Bloody Valentine descendents.  It's got woozy yet kinda gritty "emotronic" elements like Atlas Sound. It's for half-glass-full day-dreaming.

Best random facts of the day? The lead singer Eric Dalke ate dinner for breakfast today. And he likes any philosopher who doesn't make him afraid to die like "not Jesus". Damn.
