As the second contribution to Captured Tracks' Shoegaze Archives series, deardarkhead offers their brilliant take on the genre with Oceanside: 1991 - 1993. The New Jersey-based band was formed in 1988 with their name taken from an anonymous 18th century Irish poem 'Cean Dubh Dilis', focused on a beautiful girl with black hair.
Their sound perfectly blends post-punk guitar experimentalism with a heavy atmospheric dreampop aura, similar to Pale Saints and Ride.
This release is completely remastered with previously unreleased tracks and the first time that these tracks will be available on vinyl.
