Elika, one mainstays bands in the NYC dream-pop/shoegazer scene, is releasing today their 4th album entitled "Always The Light", and offering a free mp3 of the single "No One Gets Lost", streaming below. Compared with the band’s previous material, this song unveils a less guitar-centric sound, as if the electronic elements that always constituted the band’s rhythmic section had slowly taken over other roles in the band. So much so that the shoegazer matrix is almost completely lost in favor of a more complex electro-pop sound, characterized by carefully chosen drum sounds, layered synths, sudden melodic openings, ambient breathing spaces, and – only occasionally – the unmissable electric guitars drenched in reverb.
