Ears Wide Open: Seaspin

File under shoegaze revivalism: Seaspin, the new project from former Your Enemies Friends bandmates Ronnie Washburn and Jennifer Goodridge, has fashioned a vaguely turbulent strain of dreampop on their initial EP, “Reverser.” The touchstones come right out of the hall of fuzz – the Cocteau Twins, early Lush and perhaps the peppier ‘gazing of the Darling Buds – and it’s about 180 degrees from the bratty, fun rock of their former band. “Reverser” soon will hit iTunes thanks to a digital distribution deal with Buddyhead.
