The Microphones continue to boldly expand and expound upon the possibilities of analog recording. Their third full-length for K and fifth overall, is a sprawling 67-minute masterwork, sure to earn the group the undisputed title of experimental pop's MVPs. Impeccable songwriting laden with hooks, a widely varied palette of instrumentation, potent lyrical paintings, and interspersed sound tweaks that serve to lace everything together. Comparisons to the Elephant 6 collective aside, "The Glow Pt. 2" transcends psyche-pop and lo-fi tags to blossom as the most actualized and daring album of The Microphones' young career. Re-issued and re-mastered with additional songs and material.
