Started my year listening to an LP I missed late last year.

THE MARY ONETTES 🇸🇪 have been making essential dreampop since the mid 2000’s.

I can remember being in Louisville in 2007 as Kimberly was running the Kentucky Derby Half- Marathon and listening to this magical tune on repeat, forever- Here’s the aces “Under The Guillotine” from their self-titled debut LP- live on YouTube and then SPOTIFY-

(SONG 1482)

I completely missed that these guys released a new LP entitled “Sworn” on November 14, 2025.

I spent time yesterday digesting this release and give it 7.5.

Today I will feature the opening track because to me it has a SLOWDIVE 🇬🇧 feel. [Ed. Note- Perhaps a sign of a 2026 release from rex’s fave Reading UK band?]

Here is “WHWDL”. I know the LP has songs with proper videos but we roll with our heart and ears here at gwrex365 so just enjoy this short, glorious LP opener-
