Hear L.A. shoegazers Blackout Transmission’s new single “Portals”
On February 21, L.A. post-punk/shoegaze group Blackout Transmission release their debut album Sparse Illumination via Etxe Records. And today, the band has shared a new single, titled “Portals.” The track opens with a dusty tremolo guitar sound, like a grungier Duane Eddy, with vocalist Christopher Goett showcasing a voice that’s uncannily similar to Echo & the Bunnymen’s Ian McCulloch. It’s a fuzzy, hard-driving rock ‘n’ roll track at heart, but it’s wrapped up in a dense, swirling array of effects, offering an otherworldly, cosmic, psychedelic illusion without ever taking its feet off the ground. Listen to the Blackout Transmission “Portals” stream below.
