Here’s a truly fabulous recommendation from J.A.. The Blessed Isles hails from Texas and originally started out as a solo project of former The Hourly Radio frontman Aaron Closson. But the line-up has since expanded and the band is currently a trio. The music roams around somewhere in the shoegaze (somewhat noisy, slightly dreamy and quite catchy) genre influenced by “the usual suspects” (everyone from MBV to The Verve). A debut EP is expected out some time later this fall.
