Raleigh's White Cascade—a trio of Matts (Cash, Guess and Robbins) making dense, dynamic shoegaze—has a knack for being several things at once. It can squall like My Bloody Valentine, throb like Jesu and go poppy like the Jesus and Mary Chain. The trio's mostly instrumental tunes (vocals here are just another texture) can, within the same moment, be spacious, monolithic and surprising, like the reflection of stars sparkling in the black, glassy face of a wave, just before it crashes.
