Echo Orbiter – Never Click
Can’t say I’ve ever heard the original Medicine tune (and given my years I should, then again given my longitude the memory tends to get a tad flaky) so you’ll have to make do with this cover from Philadelphia’s Echo Orbiter. And what a supple shoegazetastic effort it is too, blending a white noise stew of guitars and refracted vocals. This was designed for dark halls full of sticky carpets, damp walls and the best soundsystem in town. Echo Orbiter are very much a living entity despite almost clocking up 15 years at the coalface of indiedom. This is ear cleansing and in many ways somewhat life affirming. KD
