Originally posted on Ad Hoc The aural mecca of Manchester locals (and outsiders) have yet again provided us with a fine bunch of new, intriguing names thus far in 2012, including altering genres from the likes of M O N E Y, Father Sculptor and PINS on the melancholic side, to drenching proto-techno or the moody club-killer Moses Gold, former contributor of Stay+. In fact, The Louche was brought to our attention by the brain behind the lastly mentioned moniker (via the superb SWAYS Records), rumored to have a fiery, beguiling presence on stage. Sulked in reverb and distorted guitars, this very rumor even shines through in a recorded outfit, moving from sonic shoegaze harmonies to carefree noise-rock.
