WYMA: We have something for you today.
Reader: What is it?
WYMA: Something very, very nice.
Reader: Oh, it will be a happy Friday, then. Please tell me, what is it?
WYMA: Earache.
Reader: Lovely, I'd like to .... WHAT? You are offering me an earache? No way.
WYMA: Don't be that way. This Earache is very good for your ears.
Reader: Do you think I'm stupid? I've had earaches before and they are horrible things.
WYMA: We'll give you a bit of Earache and we think you'll change your mind.
Reader: That's crazy.
WYMA: Take your fingers out of your ears. Please, for us.
Reader: Well, OK, but just a bit, I have a low tolerance for pain.
WYMA:
WYMA: There! That wasn't so bad, was it?
Reader: No. It actually was quite nice. But does the pain come later?
WYMA: There is no pain with Earache, only pleasure. They are an Australian duo comprised of Gemma Nourse and David Fenderson, and have released a wonderful eight-track album titled Last. The eight songs feature stabbing, tangled guitar lines, affecting melodies, and girl/boy vocals delivered in a sturdy dream pop/shoegaze style. There are some similarities to New Zealand's Surf City, but with more structure and a lot more attention to the vocals, and fans with a deeper historical base likely will detect some Field Mice DNA. Here are two more of our favorites from the album:
Reader: You guys are wonderful. My ears feel terrific! We are going to recommend Earache to all of our friends. Where can we find it?
WYMA: We're glad you aren't suffering too much from the Earache. Last is out now in digital formats via Lacklustre Records and Black Wire Records, and vinyl via Black Wire Records.
