The Profile

Arizona-based shoegaze/dream pop group. Issued a mid-1990s 7-inch on Independent Project Records with Bruce Licher’s letterpress packaging; a scarce 1998 compilation appeared; the retrospective Eyedazzler 1992–1996 was reissued on vinyl and CD in 2017.

Armand’s review frames Alison's Halo within shoegaze’s dream-pop side, praising ethereal vocals and cherubic guitar interplay. The band’s 1990s Arizona obscurity is contrasted with the transportive quality of the music. It notes a mid-’90s IPR 7-inch, a scarce 1998 compilation, and a 2017 vinyl/CD reissue of Eyedazzler 1992–1996. Overall tone: admiring, reflective, and warmly appreciative.
