RENEWER: Sunne Vinyl LP

Sacramento's Renewer arrived with Sunne already knowing exactly what they wanted to do: take the shoegaze blueprint and run it through something heavier, slower, and more unsettling, until the prettiness curdles into something genuinely dark.

Sunne is Renewer's debut full-length and it earns that weight. This is heavy shoegaze that sits in the space where distortion becomes atmosphere and melody becomes undertow. It belongs in the same late-night listening rotation as early Alcest, the more submerged corners of the Deathwish catalogue, or anything that makes you feel like you're standing in a field at 3am and you're not entirely sure that's a bad thing. For anyone in the Melbourne alternative scene who's been quietly building a shoegaze and dark aesthetic vinyl collection, Sunne is the kind of record that fills a gap you didn't know you had.
