The Splendour of Fear

by Felt

The Splendour of Fear cover art

Expanding their pristine jangle-pop into highly atmospheric, extended instrumental passages, Felt delivered a deeply melancholic, poetic masterwork. Maurice Deebank's classical-inspired, reverb-drenched guitar lines completely dominate the record, evoking a calm, incredibly ethereal, and introspective neo-psychedelic landscape. 'The Splendour of Fear' is a sparse, hypnotic touchstone that significantly prefigured the dream pop movement.
