Album Notes & Community Reviews

Opening with a swirling, Who-inspired synthesizer sequence before launching into a massive, eight-minute tidal wave of distorted guitars, the track is an epic statement of shoegaze ambition. The vocal harmonies are characteristically melodic, buried just beneath the incredibly dense, driving instrumentation. Its formidable length and sprawling structure defied conventional radio formats yet successfully secured a top-ten placement on the UK singles chart.
