Alison's Halo
Eyedazzler 1992-1996

Shoegaze is often discussed, here on the dream pop side, but that duet with dreams, with a melancholic but not sad memory, fits like never before in the clouds of this group that once found no one to lend their wing to fly them in our direction.

It's as if the Arizona desert had placed an invisibility veto over this music that redeemed millennia of dry mirages. And how can one blame the concealment in the face of these celestial sounds? Wouldn't we have done the same, keeping them for our intimate selves?

A revenge on aridity is denied to no one, after all, there's no total block; there's an option for those who have sensed the magnitude of the event. The music is there, accessible to all. So where is the fault? In our inability to self-stimulate in feeling invisibility? In not knowing how to interpret the treasure map?

The fact is that in 1994, after a 7-inch for IPR with the usual tactile cover printed by Bruce Licher's press, our heroes, after years of sterile courtship by various record labels in the “everyone wants them and no one takes them” series, are sponsored by a small label that in 1998 releases a "hush hush" compilation in few copies.

The others don't catch on, discographic mysteries, because the group deserves it, the music is fantastic, the pathos is created on all the tracks, one is drawn into a dreamy evanescence, Catherine's voice is ethereal just enough, the guitars intertwine cherubically, one is projected into peaceful zones of our being while still remaining with (winged) feet on the ground.

And the up and down game, earth-atmosphere, is that secret desert flower that reserves itself for emotional detachment only to then give itself magnificently in its openings. And we feel good, and we are happy when we feel the caresses of this sound.

In 2017 it was reissued both on vinyl and CD, a jolt that revives the glories of a golden age of a jewel that wished to blend in with the sand by embodying the broom, which symbolizing modesty and humility teaches that calmness can create transcendental rarefaction for a journey in the bright moments of our life.
