This is the second full-length album from this Boston indie band. The band are often labelled as a shoegaze band due to some similarities with My Bloody Valentine but this band are pretty much out on their own in terms of creativity, originality and uniqueness, especially on this album. The band are also a key influence on Autolux's sound. This album features walls of guitars, often descending into Sonic Youth-esque noise, some bizarre yet humorous voice recordings, noise experiments, and some moments of melodic beauty. This album is a must for anyone seeking some great experimental 90's indie rock and what's even better is that this album, along with most of their discography is available for free from their website!
