Existe uma obsessão acerca da obra prima Loveless que por vezes me pergunto se ela irá realmente acabar algum dia. A resposta é que, provavelmente não,
Esta colocação se aplica aos chineses do Rubur que debutaram recentemente com "True Bypass", onde muita de sua inspiração vem obviamente da pedra fundamental do shoegaze, mas nem somente de conexões com a banda de Mr Shields vivem os chineses, existe uma aura de desconstruções sonhadoras que remetem ao Medicine além de um toque indie inegável.
O Rubur se destaca totalmente a cena asiática por deixar o etéreo de lado e experimentar nas paredes ruidosas, o que torna sua sonoridade muito mais atraente.
Ah sim, uma belíssima estreia.
