in which a little piece of shoegazing is found in a cheesy movie

so, i stumbled across this song recently while watching a low-budget british horror film entitled the reeds. being the music dorks we are, the husband and i immediately set off to find the song, which is much more memorable than the movie (truth be told, i only saw the beginning and end of the film, so i'm just assuming this fact).

"this song," the husband said, "makes me want to haul out my shoegazing collection."

boy, does it ever! talk about a nice bit of time machine music.

i don't know too much about sister, other than that they're british (no surprise there, though, right?). in my darkest hour is a great song, reminiscent of lush and my bloody valentine, with hints of catherine wheel and oasis. i can't vouch for the rest of sister's catalogue (which seems to be exceedingly difficult to track down other than in video), but i can guarantee in my darkest hour is worth a listen.



oh, the sunlight shimmering gold
one brighten up the soul
if the soul hides from the sun
then gold will never come

in my darkest hour
you can show me the light
you will it all
my blood and soul
but i don't' know why
in my darkest hour
you can show me the light

(mp3) in my darkest hour by sister

here's the official video:
