Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving near the tail end of the original shoegaze movement, this debut injects a distinctly arrogant, proto-Britpop swagger into walls of flanged and distorted guitars. The album balances hazy, feedback-drenched textures with immediately accessible pop hooks, bridging the gap between introverted noise-pop and anthemic indie rock.

Genres

Descriptors: atmospheric, melodic, noisy, reverb-heavy, wall-of-sound
