Droning shoegaze/psyche with an ethereal production quality that's strongly evocative of MBV. (The album art even looks like Loveless.) Explores themes of annihilation, temptation, rage and paradise. Another great release from Wharf Cat records. RIYL My Bloody Valentine, Spacemen 3/Brian Jonestown Massacre, Colourmusic, shoegaze on drugs

1. (3:10) *** Annihilation Generation—Spooky, slow, hypnotic, Sunn O))) does shoegaze
2. (2:58) ** Trick Tomorrow—Sweet drifting psyche, great bass
3. (2:30) All Mine—Strong bass, strung-out, like Brian Jonestown Massacre
4. (2:35) Second Sister—Very slow and sparse, a weirder more airy methodrone
5. (3:07) **** Delusion—Propulsive drums, nice bassline that's very Brian Jonestown Massacre, uplifting
6. (2:16) Succumb—Raw acoustic guitars and some cute electric fills, rousing little jam
7. (3:33) **** Lucifer Inverted—Epic guitar odyssey entering the den of Satan
8. (2:53) *** Your Bed is Melting—Spacey, billowing noise and low whispers, some instrumental messing around
9. (3:59) *** Rainbow Death Revisited—Punchy and bass-driven, multiple voices, comforting psych pop about how rainbow death will come
10. (2:18) Ritualized—Something like a zither, loud hypnotic chant-like vocals
