Album Review
Andy S
Reviewed 2011-01-05
Measured garage-art-rock with varying amounts of guitar-based noise. Picture a calmer No Age with lots of Velvet Underground and 90's indie guitar rock in the mix. Good stuff. FCC clean; my picks: 11, 4 –Andy

1 - drone/feedback, slow plod and pining vocal line
*2 - cheery instrumental into minor key jangly midtempo rock
*3 - feedback, sing-songy march that falls into a groove halfway
**4 - slow, sweet, gently somber, reverb-heavy, drone ending into next track
5 - pleasant drone instrumental, continuous with previous track; nice tones
*6 - very Lou Barlow; simple but tense, with forceful melancholy
7 - wandering, uneasy midtempo
8 - stabbing guitar, Sonic Youth rock
9 - sunny indie rock
10 - slow, simple, pretty, kind of a Galaxie 500 feel
**11 - an energetic midtempo with Beach Boys vocals and surfy guitar
