BAND MINI-REVIEW: Limerent Dance Machine

   Limerent Dance Machine is an indie rock band from Murrieta that have been playing since early 2012. Guitarist/singer Joseph Moore wrote much of their recent album "Dream A Reason Why" while living in New York and put the band together upon moving to California.
  
Their sound is somewhere in between early post-punk, non-abrasive shoegaze, and a little bit of 90s emo-rock. Like Joy Division occasionally playing My Bloody Valentine riffs and subconsciously aware of Sunny Day Real Estate, all with infectiously romance-obsessed lyrics. Despite the gloomy stylings they bring to mind, songs like "Oceanside" and "Another Breath" still maintain an upbeat momentum and in general they never fall into slow trenches as many other groups with similar influences do.
   Although their aforementioned debut album was one my favorites from last year, this is one of those bands that is just better live.They have plans of releasing a new EP in 2013 entitled "Blush Response" once they can get funds for recording, so keep your eyes out for that.
