Failsafe Records and Springloader are very excited to announce the Just Like Yesterday album, set for release on 1 November.
A four piece Proto-shoegaze/Dreampop/Indie Rock/Post Rock band, Springloader originate from Christchurch New Zealand. They formed in the mid 90's searching for sounds to invigorate their ears and to write cinematic indie powerpop built around valve-crunched guitars and powered beats. The band use specially designed alternative tunings and open ringing string chords to reach places stretched fingers and standard chords forms could not, discovering melodic and tone combinations not available with traditional approaches.
After a burst of productivity and recording laying the foundation for 18 songs the band took a ‘temporary’ break that accidentally lasted 2 decades. They reconvened in 2020 to continue what they started as if no time had passed, culminating in the new album Just Like Yesterday. Not meant to be purposefully ironic the album name is actually taken from a name of a core song, which now adds a poignant counter relevance not lost on the band, as they deliver an album of indiegaze-dreampop with a cinematic soundtrack bent created over a 30 year period as if no time has passed at all.
The result is a dense, melodic and energetic journey through 10 songs - the 3:30 min powerpop-indie-alt-rock of lead single and title track Just Like Yesterday, to the motion picture epics of Falling Away, One More Thing, and Too Close, both clocking in at the 6 minute mark.
The Just Like Yesterday single is available now on streaming and download platforms.
The band has a second album in progress scheduled for release in 2025. It's been a busy time for Springloader and they look forward to showing you the results.
A full album listening preview on Bandcamp is planned for late October Join the band to listen through the collection and participate in a real-time chat.
The album is available now for pre-order on Bandcamp and the Failsafe Webstore on deluxe packaged compact disc in a double gate-fold card sleeve, with 12 page booklet of liner notes, lyrics, chord charts & alternative tuning information!, It will also be available through digital download platforms. Only the singles will be on streaming platforms.
