Rated 6/10
If you can dredge on through its absurdly needless runtime, there is stuff here that's good. I've liked their 2020 release,, so seeing this pop up on my radar is nice.
It takes inspiration from VU, the early psychedelic era and the more mainstream one from Fleetwood Mac with a lot of love towards indie and a country tinge to create this loveable piece of music. And that's coming from a guy who doesn't believe that this type of music is anything special. The whole album is rooted in a single hazy and low fidelity sound, but it's much more than that. A lot of songs have underlying influences of dream pop, post-punk and ambient that deepen the sea of explorable sound.
It does warrant a "combing through" to make an album of bearable length, though, but there's a lot to choose from, so take a gander. What I will say, though, is that this style of music does not benefit well from the length. When everything is said and done, all the songs merge into this one giant homunculus of hazy, lo-fi sound, and it's hard to differentiate what's actually good. But it is a good album, no doubt. And when you compare the quality with its length, it's amazing.
Rated 4/10
No album needs to be 2 hours long.... May have enjoyed it more if it didn't overstay its welcome so bad...
This is like lo-fi noise pop? It sounds like it was recorded in mono and played through an AM radio, which gives it a bit of a nostalgic feel.
Favourite songs: GAYBLEVISION, Olive Drab, Diamond Jubilee, Dreams of You, Wild One, Glitz, All I Want is You, Durham City Limit
Least favourite songs: Kingdom Come, Realistik Heaven, Deepest Blue, To Heal This Wounded Heart, Golden Microphone, 24/7 Heaven
2/5 (woulda been 3 but it's just waaayyy to fucking long)
Rated 10/10
This was a very neat surprise. Varied, sprawling, and it stays interesting the entire time. I'm not a huge fan of that vocal filter, but it doesn't ruin the experience. Rounding up the 4.5, I liked this a lot
Rated 10/10
So nostalgic yet new at the same time. The songwriting throughout is just fantastic.
Rated 6/10
Found this on Bandcamp, like it to start with but it's a bit too long.
