They probably be associated with bands like Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine but Screen Vinyl Image is more than fuzz guitars and loud music. Former members of Alcian Blue, Jake and Kim Reid together with drummer Nathan Jurgenson mix together electro, psychedelic and dakrwave esque shoegaze via synths, drum samples, and wide collection of effect pedals. My ears didn't bleed but SVI's noisy guitars, drum beats and strobe lights is a short trip to a tone down haunted frenzy like banging my head like I'm in the 90's.

Anyway, I had a short conversation with Jake, who is by the way the one of the nicest guys I've met in a while, about 90's band like Slowdive and Ride, their possible US tour with Ceremony and why they are missing a smoke machine. Their next show in NYC is on September 10 at Public Assembly and then a tour with Ceremony in Japan.

Please do check my favorite track from them called "Fever", which reminds me of Danse Society's "Somewhere".
