Glittery, modern-rock shoegaze with crisp vocals. Seems like an effort to distinguish and polish their sound (and probably to stop attracting so many Smashing Pumpkins comparisons). A little monotonous and over-orchestrated as a result, but still some standouts. My picks: 1, 5. FCC clean. – Andy 1 - Upbeat, poppy; simple, catchy, two-note riff. 7 seconds of almost-silence at beginning, ends at -0:56, with a spacey outro following 2 - String parts and distorted guitar accents give this an unfortunate video-game-soundtrack feel, but solid choruses break out of it. 3 - Starts with slow tempo, bass/ambient synth with electric noodling, heavy vocal reverb; gradual, effective build in intensity. 4 - Chunky guitar riffs, some weird androgynous vocals on verses, sprawling choruses with more strings. 5 - Nice bass riff, unadulterated shoegaze guitar, vocal harmonies, choruses that stand out. 6 - Slow, quiet number, rises and falls rather than going for another long crescendo. 7 - Heavy, brooding, mid-tempo. 8 - Simple, bright; lo-fi guitar and clean vocals are refreshing. 9 - Sparse, with interesting conjoined bass/guitar parts. Well-used strings toward end. 10 - Darkened pop song; slow stretch in middle then picks back up. | ||
