The Stratford 4 build their own noise-pop sound from wavering layers of guitar on a foundation of psychedelia. The energy of a young band making the music they love literally leaps off this album. "The Revolt Against Tired Noises" kicks off with a hypnotic waltz, before hitting you with a couple of noisy pop songs. The intimate gives way to the lazy and drugged out, where slide guitars and shakers erupt into an avalanche that you don't see coming until you're up to your ears in sound. It's an epic that will take you from the calm into the storm and back again.
