Seattle psych-rock and shoegaze outfit New Age Healers release their fifth album Blowing Smoke Through the Choir today.
The record expands the shoegaze-psych hybrid of 2024's The Spin Out and introduces a more collaborative approach, including contributions from Film School's Greg Bertens and Karate Guns & Training's Valerie Green.
Frontman Owen Murphy also shares songwriting duties with guitarist Jeramy Koepping for the first time, while vocalist Elisa Nottingham adds further texture.
For listeners following the enormous contemporary shoegaze revival but wanting bands that push beyond straightforward '90s recreation, this is one of today's strongest underground releases.
