Destination Ecstacy

Pink Playground, “Destination Ecstacy” (Mexican Summer, 2011)
Almost absurdly stylized shoegaze music, a purification of the genre to its extreme essence – a kind of “hardcore shoegaze,” if such a thing isn’t a contradiction in terms. Vast caverns of electrified cotton-candy murk, with male and female vocals floating somewhere in the storm. Sweet melodies and driving rhythms, too, in the service of a genuine sense of psychedelic delirium. The Child Molesters once sang about “looking for gurus with pink fuzzy pills”; these guys sound like they found ‘em.
