Drown In Vibrations to Magnet School's "So Long To The Heavens"

Upping the gaze.

Magnet School is a band from Austin, TX that plays progressive, forward thinking shoegaze. "So Long To The Heavens" is a dream, taking the listener into a lake of vibration. In the wake of a whole bunch of bands gazing it up, Magnet School focuses on the aggressive side of the sound, building themselves into a heavier version of The Catherine Wheel or Swervedriver. The track keeps building on top of itself, guitars getting more complex and intricate as the song progresses. The band has found that perfect sweet spot in between the heaviness and softness great guitar music should strive for. It's what space rock should be, always looking forward and never backward.

Their upcoming record The Art of Telling The Truth is out on January 29 via Shifting Sounds.
