Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran Oxford outfit maintains the momentum of their modern revival, continuing to hone their uniquely muscular take on the shoegaze format. The record abandons some of the propulsive punk energy of their early years, opting instead for a slow, lethargic guitar burn set against distinctly pessimistic, politically charged lyrics.
