Emotional Response Vinilo y CD

Review: Given that Emotional Response boss Stuart Leath has enjoyed a long working relationship with dub-loving psychedelic pop types Peaking Lights, it's little surprise to see band member Aaron Coyes bring his new solo project, Exotic Gardens, to the label. Predictably, this debut EP/mini-album is a joy from start to finish, with Coyes delivering a quintet of cuts that giddily mix and match elements of dub, post-punk pop, effects-laden guitar trickery, shoegaze adjacent soundscapes and spaced-out headiness. Highlights come thick and fast, with our current favourites including the shuffling joy of 'Tonight', the acid-flecked electronic psychedelia of 'Organise Your Movement' and the yearning, sun-soaked colour of 'Last of the Light'.
