For a long time, this has been one of my favorite lps of all time. I listen to this when i am down, and lately that is a lot. Again, what makes me love this band? The very non typical vocals. Like an Erie little girl haunting you. The music has energy, a lot of energy. The guitars are very powerful, the bass drives, and the drums are always matching. From very pretty and beautiful, to angry and thriving and driving.

 

I would put this band in the post 4ad label as well. I hear a ton of influences in their sound, from fleetwood mac, to the cure. Some of the songs just sound like monsters. Lilies for example, this song is jacked and strange. My Favorite song on the record is Beautiful Friend. Those long guitar bends, kind of like Chris Isaak but not lame..

This is a band that never got enough credit. To me their music is timeless. And even after all these years, i still listen to it constantly. Ok now for my favorite songs off this lp, Shining road, Reverie, Beautiful Friend, Loved, Come This far. You will either love it, or hate it. A lot of people cannot get past the voice. Well, that is what i will be show casing mostly on this site. Vocalists who are unique and original and really expressive. If you like boring typical tones and voices, well, i wont be showing you much of that here. Sorry. Any way. If you like this, go buy it! Click here to buy.

    Buy it? I’d love to but the cheapest available secondhand copy on http://www.amazon.co.uk is priced at £66.80 (isn’t that about USD134?). Even by “rip-off” Britain standards (where we routinely pay more for CD’s, DVD’s and games) that’s a bit steep. Mind you, when the review first appeared the cheapest one was over £80 so maybe if I wait a bit longer….at least I’m now aware of this band - thanks to you.
