Air Formation - Daylight Storms (2007)

Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Air Formation - Nothing to Wish For (Nothing to Lose) (2010)

More widescreen, lovelorn shoegaze from England's sadly defunct Air Formation. A massive, warm cloud of guitar and synth hovering over a patient rhythm section and subtly emotive vocals. Breaks my heart every time.

1. Cold Morning
2. Tidal
3. Daylight Storms
4. I Can't Remember Waking Up
5. Into View
6. Formation One
7. You Have to Go Somewhere

Air Formation - Nothing to Wish For (Nothing to Lose) (2010)

Starry-eyed shoegaze of the more concrete, song-based, Catherine Wheel/Ride variety, albeit with bigger, more syrupy, modern production. Air Formation's swansong, Nothing to Wish For (Nothing to Lose) is one of those records that seems to speak to every mood a person might find oneself in.

Track listing:
1. Three Years Pass
2. Stars & Knives
3. Low December Sun
4. Alone at Last
5. Don't Wait 'Til Dawn
6. Meltdown
7. Until Today
8. Like I Hold You
9. Cut Through the Night
10. Outro
11. Distant Silhouettes
