Die jungen Teenage Fanclub haben ihre Mischung aus Alternative Rock, Powerpop und Janglepop teilweise noch recht noisig und schrammelig dargeboten. Und damit wären wir auch schon bei Prism Shores, einer Band aus Montreal. Die kanadische Band besteht aus Jack MacKenzie (Gesang, Gitarre), Ben Goss (Bass, Gesang), Luke Pound (Schlagzeug, Gesang) und Finn Dalbeth (Gitarre, Gesang). Im Studio erhielten sie Unterstützung vom Produzenten und Multi-Instrumentalisten Scott Munro.
2022 veröffentlichten die Prism Shores mit „Inside My Diving Bell“ ihr Debütalbum, dem 2025 „Out From Underneath“ folgte. Auf den Nachfolger, der auf black Vinyl erhältlich ist, mussten ihre Fans nicht so lange warten. Wer noch nicht Fan ist, aber Teenage Fanclub, The Wedding Present, Guided By Voices, Dinosaur Jr., Sugar oder The Lemonheads mag, sollte hier reinhören.
“Paperback Writer,” one of the greatest singles by The Beatles, never found its way one of their regular albums, but it did create one of the often underrated but at the same time greatly appreciated genres – power pop.They say that key elements of power pop include strong catchy melodies and energetic guitar riffs, among others. Based on this, it seems Montreal’s Prism Shores are taking these elements that usually describe this genre to their hearts (rightly so) and turned it into the title of their latest album – Softest Attack.
The tracklist provides a virtuosic display of diverse indie-pop lineage, moving from the frenetic, distorted jangle of “Kid Gloves” to the sugary, high-velocity hooks of “I Didn’t Mean to Change My Mind.” “Idle Again” and “Resigned to the Fact” channel a quintessentially British sense of melody, while the motorik pulse of “Guidebook” pays homage to the persistent influence of the Dunedin sound. The track “Gossamer” serves as a bridge to their shoegaze roots, utilizing a wall of sound that leads into the introspective clarity of “Magical Thinking.” Lyrically, the album navigates the familiar terrain of ennui and self-doubt, but the delivery is reinvigorated by the addition of lush vocal harmonies on tracks like “Nothing to Find” and “A Faster Gun.”
