Album Notes & Community Reviews

For their second album since reforming, the legendary Oxford shoegaze pioneers team once again with producer Erol Alkan. The record pushes beyond their signature shimmering guitar feedback, incorporating sleek post-punk rhythms, electronic flourishes, and surprisingly melancholic, layered pop melodies. It functions as a confident, mature synthesis of their 1990s legacy and modern alternative rock.
