Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2014-11-19
Thee Oh Sees, Rondelles, early Stereolab, Wooden Shijps, Neu come to mind. UK band’s second release. Fuzzed out joyous garage psyche post punk krautrock. Some songs have crazed fuzzed vocs, all vocs are echoey and cool. Most songs blend together so lots of fun potential tracking. See also Spacemen 3, Sonic Youth, Goat, Black Angels.

1)* (2:43) driving desperate, ends cold
2)* (6:03) slower organ fueled psychey wooden ships early stereolab, ends but fits perfectly with next
3)* (2:59) a lovely cool sustain/feedback melodic drone out of previous (play together)
4) (4:02) driving post punky with crazed vocs but a Rondelles fun organ element, middle breakdown
5)* (6:37) quieter still upbeat, spacey, kinda like track 2, blends into next
6)* (0:40) organ coming out of previous blends into next
7)* (7:38) very chill echoey with quiet tom tom beat, stereolaby, play with previous two and next
8)* (1:32) another drone organ coming out of previous play together
9) (5:49) head nodding rockin with fuzzed organ guitar onslaught very early stereolab.
