As the second contribution to Captured Tracks’ Shoegaze Archives series, deardarkhead offer their brilliant take on the genre with Oceanside: 1991-1993. The New Jersey-based band was formed in 1988 with their name taken from an anonymously written Irish poem of the 18th century “Cean Dubh Dilis,” about a beautiful girl with black hair. Their sound perfectly blends post-punk guitar experimentalism with a heavy atmospheric dreampop aura, similar to Pale Saints and Ride. This release is completely remastered, some tracks previously unreleased as well as all track never before on vinyl.
