Vancouver Shoegaze Legends MOVIELAND Drop Advance Single “I Relate” On 604 Records’ New Re-Release Series 604 Decades
Movieland, founded by songwriter Alan D. Boyd in 1991, is known for its immersive soundscapes that capture the essence of youth and self-discovery in the 1990s. Their single “I Relate,” originally recorded in their early years, delves into the struggles of identity and the uncertainties of young adulthood, resonating deeply with the angst and intensity of the era. With raw guitar riffs and emotionally charged lyrics, the song transports listeners back to a time when music was uncovered through word-of-mouth and personal connections, adding a layer of nostalgia to the experience.
Now re-released by 604 Decades, “I Relate” reaches both longtime fans and new listeners with unprecedented accessibility. Streaming platforms allow a broader audience to experience Movieland’s sound, bridging generational divides and creating a shared sense of connection around timeless themes of self-doubt and resilience.
604 Records is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of “I Relate,” the first advance single from cult shoegazers Movieland, set to drop on October 22nd. This track will feature on the new archival label imprint 604 Decades, showcasing the band’s signature blend of dreamy melodies and raw, introspective lyrics. Movieland’s sound, often seen as ahead of its time, captured a unique chapter in the underground music scene of the early ‘90s, coinciding with the rise of influential bands like Nirvana and Sonic Youth. The full album, *Then & Now*, will be released on December 13th, 2024, and “I Relate” serves as a testament to the creative spirit of Vancouver during this pivotal musical era.
