dressmaker London

In the East End of London, 2013: dressmaker emerged amidst a foggy haze and the pulse of blinding strobes. If Phil Spector had produced Joy Division, and drafted Thurston Moore to throw in waves of feedback and chainsaw-tone guitars, it might have sounded like this. The aural experience is a cocktail of the ear-piercingly loud, the psychedelic, and at times the serene, with an underlying aura of menace throughout. Drawing comparisons to sonic luminaries such as SWANS, My Bloody Valentine, and The Jesus & Mary Chain, dressmaker have an evident fondness for all things noisy but their music cuts deeper than the cheap trick of depending solely on excessive volume.
