It's 1986, the year of the New York Mets Vs. the Boston Red Sox in the World Series. I was probably listenting to early old school rap, Michael Jackson and perhaps some Beatles at best. Good thing though because my young mind would of been blown by something like this, I wouldn't have been ready for it. Liz Fraser and company had been around for a few years melding atmospheric 'gothic' rock sounds with a dreamy type post-punk/new wave style that would become their signature and hence 'Dreampop' was born!
Flash forward to our year of 2011 A.D. and what do we have but one of Liz Fraser's spiritual descendants chanting out her own modern dreampop mantras for a new generation. Shana Falana, formerly of San Francisco has been out in New York (Brooklyn, now Rosendale) trying to make it happen now for the past few years and without a doubt she has finally attained it. Sonically she and her band has all the tools. This beautiful track, part Benedectine monks, part (yes) Cocteau Twins, can be found on her just released IN THE LIGHT EP. She is out and about playing all over New York, catch her before she is gone! Here are more details on her ReverbNation page: http://www.reverbnation.com/shanafalanaschannel
