Album Notes & Community Reviews

The sophomore effort from the Austin, Texas trio serves as a direct, highly affectionate homage to the defining guitar tones of the 1990s alternative boom. The album expertly balances heavily distorted, My Bloody Valentine-inspired sonic violence with remarkably accessible, boy-girl vocal melodies. It represents a surprisingly muscular and concise take on the notoriously hazy shoegaze genre.
