There are some changes in the tempo in this album that are a little like change in a summer wind, it happens but it’s not something you care about. We’ve a pretty solid 40 minutes of microphone mumbling nonsense and some guitar tricks and distortion and fuzz that’s all a bit dreary. Not dreary in the sense that it was wrestled up from the darkness of the artists’ hearts but in the Purgatory-like grey sense where it’s mostly dull and boring.
Excessive use of dreamy vocals that float aimless above the guitar fuzz, it’s a lot like this: mumble, mumble, fuzz, fuzz, drum, drum, distortion, mumble, mumble. With song names like “Galaxy Punk” that’s very disappointing. If you listened to the first track on repeat for 40 minutes then you’ve covered the album’s bases.
They are doing what they love and creating what they love, so you can’t fault them on that.
