Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as a direct precursor to their magnum opus 'Loveless', this release pioneers Kevin Shields' unique 'glide guitar' technique via continuous tremolo arm manipulation. The tracks are characterized by heavily obscured vocals mixed deep beneath layers of sampled feedback and dense melodic distortion. It achieved considerable success on the UK Indie Chart, signaling a commercial peak for the independent scene.
