    "Philadelphian noise-rockers Highspire released their sophomore album ‘Aquatic’ via Reverse Reverb last year. It was a seven-year wait between records, their debut ‘Your Everything’ was released back in 2003, four years after the band formed. Comparisons to early 90s bands like Ride are unmistakable. Highspire also covered Slowdive’s ‘Dagger’, so they’re not shy about revealing their influences. Rightly so, there are a number of standouts on ‘Aquatic’, ‘Dusted’ is just one of them."

about

The long-awaited (7 years!) sophomore album by shoegazers Highspire, Aquatic is a misty underwater sound screen. There hides a story beneath its hypnotically spiralling guitars and reverb-soaked melodies. The album is trying to tell you something. Let it wash over you: drown in the straining strings that bend and warp and bounce off each other, and lose yourself in the vocals that weave themselves into and nestle within the melodies. Aquatic may well be a modern shoegaze/dreampop classic. It is an outstanding effort, a truly lovely collection of tunes that make you feel as though 1992 was happening again—now.
