Torrey Self-Titled
Review by Soup of the Day (my first review, please let me know how I can improve)

RIYL: Lunar Vacation, Alvvays, (Psychopomp era) Japanese Breakfast, Slowdive, Softcult, Florist, The Beths, Cocteau Twins

Local Bay Area band! Soft, chill indie pop with shoegaze vibes. Fun ambient and reverby effects, layers upon layers of droning, dreamy synths and guitars. Music fits well with foggy day weather and sunny, crisp mornings.

No FCC
Favorite Tracks: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8

1. Rain: light and echoey vocals, scratchy upbeat guitar
2. No Matter How: upbeat start with drums, classic shoegazy pop, chill but exciting fuzzy energy, fun synth bits and sustained chords, reminds me of Alvvays
3. Moving: Shoegaze pop, cool panned funky fuzz guitar chords and echoey vocals, vaguely Cocteau Twins or Cranberries vibes
4. Bounce: nostalgic indie pop, high energy and fun guitar riff, flying and light vibes, chimey synths
5. Hawaii: gritty fast-paced guitar and busy drums, punk-infused, fuzz vocals, distortion
6. Garage Intermission: elevator music if it was slowed + reverb indie with slide guitar, echoey vocals
7. Slow Blues: chimey mesmerizing synths, flowy shoegaze, squeaky guitar line
8. Pop song: high energy upbeat, synth melody, fast paced bass, echo distorted guitar, busy drums with lots of crash
9. July (and I’m): bit-crushed drums, slow strummy acoustic chords and whoosing, very echoey ambient calm
10. Happy You Exist: whimsical echo guitar chord strums, similar to tracks 2-5, fun layers of distorted guitars
11. Really AM: shoegaze indie, melancholy, bassline carries chords with droning and screechy guitars that wrap around the vocals
12. We’re Dancing (End): ambient atmospheric, distorted droning ending to the album, no vocals, reminds me of if Sigur Rós was shoegaze
