8.5/10 Must Hear
Ah, so we reach the point of noise drones indebted to a shoegazery of My Bloody Valentine, rather than the sharp pains of Sonic Youth's feedback. The main difference of course is that this packs a hazy beauty that suits Deer Hunter's psych pop ambitions so much better. Of course we don't immediately get a true pop song, rather remnants flowing through dense gorgeous feedback loops. Its like a memory in that effect, producing more of the feeling of the essence of being in the situation than the semantics of it. As the albums goes on the pinpoints of what makes us feel that emotion becomes clear, but a haze still remains and often elevates that feeling. Everything is instantly recognizable, the drones feel like shoegaze of the nineties and the songs immediately feel like dreamy psych pop of the past, except memories have crossed causing a beautiful coalescence of ideas.
