An excellent start to the year for SubVersion's "SV Recommends" series, the last by Slowdive's Simon Scott. This time it's an Alternative and 80s New Wave selection from upcoming artists White Blush, their debut S/T released Winter 2012. I said on Fluid Radio back then: "I’ve been really impressed by this release, and best of all it’s in time for Xmas, and it’s “Name your price” on Bandcamp. Go get some, tame your inner vampire, and let the ghosts of halloween come out at night so you can fixate on what pumps the blood to the mind. Utterly non-forgettable, White Blush turns in a corker here – 'heaven is a place on Earth with you'".
