dreamy psych-flavored noise-pop reveling in graceful dynamics, gentle vocals let the guitar and propulsive rhythms do the heavy lifting? From the BOWIE-esque "We Go Way Back" through the lilting melancholy of "The Golden Days" to the driving swirl of "Cats for Drowning", this is music equally at home in KEVIN SHIELDS' bedroom or LEONARD COHEN's parlor. Shadowy pop with the most delectable bombast, with a super-cool 1991 Creation Records feelin', like BIFF BANG POW and RIDE meets modern marvels YO LA TENGO and The KINGSBURY MANX, meets weird bands from Oklahoma and Upstate New York? Quotes from two different music writers for The Austin Chronicle: "Somewhere between the mellifluous lilt of Galaxie 500 and the homemade psych-out angularity of The Soft Boys, there's a sweet spot for the old, faraway jangle?" and "Mixing the understated pop genius of Yo La Tengo with a slow-fi nod to the dearly departed Bedhead". A great album in a fancy digipak, nice!
