Collectors of rare psychedelia likely know the band July and its self-titled 1968 album on the Major Minor label featuring "My Clown," "Dandelion Seeds," and "The Way." But few remember that the psych cult heroes of July began their career as members of The Tomcats. Cherry Red's RPM label has recently collected the Ealing band's rare Spanish EPs, plus previously unreleased tracks, on Running at Shadows: The Spanish Recordings 1965-66. Tom Newman (lead vocals), Peter Cook (guitar), Alan

De-Luxe: Cherry Red Chronicles The Sound of Shoegaze On "Still in a Dream" Box Set
Noise-rock, dream-pop, post-punk, drone-rock, neo-psychedelia...all of these musical subgenres and more became components of the shoegaze sound. The term itself was rather derisively coined by the press to describe a certain group of musicians' tendencies to stare down at their feet while performing - partly out of introspection, partly out of necessity to operate guitar effects pedals. But the "shoegaze" term stuck, and so did the music. Still in a Dream: A Story of Shoegaze, a lavish,

Breathe Me: Sia's "Colour the Small One" Gets Vinyl Debut
Before Sia hit it big, both as a pop songwriter for Rihanna, Beyonce and Britney Spears and an enormous-voiced singer of tunes like "Titanium," "Chandelier" and recent hit "Alive," she was a quirky, tuneful indie-pop artist whose albums became critical darlings if not commercial successes. One such project, her third album Colour the Small One, is being reissued this spring, as both a digital expanded edition and, for the first time, a vinyl offering.
