Artist: Brief Candles Album: Fractured Days Genre: Alternative/Indie Rock, Shoegaze, slightly post-rock A combination of My Bloody Valentine+Jesus and Mary Chain+post-rock Maybeshewill Epic Album!! FCC clean 1. Intro (0.37)- atmospheric, reverb, short intro *2. 10 Weeks (4.22)- fuzzy guitar, reverb female vocal, bright, revival of 90s shoegaze, messy **3. Sink or Swim (4.21)- they have their own way to do this, fuzzy pedal+brilliant riffs, gorgeous vocal *4. Permafrost (4.18)- delicate intro, layered sounds, bewitching atmosphere, wistful childhood memory *5. The Sediment (4.40)- post-rock intro, tender, duo vocals, melting guitars, and swirling atmosphere, nostalgic sweetness, sentimental, weird loopy ending, *stop when there’s still 30 sec. at the end (weird loopy ending)* *6. Small Streets (5.55)- bass line stands out for intro, compatible mix of effects and atmosphere, inert, static, yearning *7. Bitter End (5.00)- resilient, brilliant guitar, etching out the bittersweet instances of fleeting summer days, the solo at 4:15 really pushes you to the point 8. Skylark (5.13)- slow/mid-tempo, reverb male vocal, delicate, scorched beauty, appeals to anyone with a sentimental mindset 9. The Completist (2.49)- natural, sweet vocals, enchanting beach scene 10. Recognition (3.54)- mesmerized by the image it creates, layered and oceanic 11. Nosferatu Monks (0.33)- lurking threats, interim *12. Knock ‘em Deaf (4.24)- disarmingly pretty, thoughtful buildups and gracefully majestic instrumental passages, dream, hazy | ||
