Formed in 2006 these guys and gals have only released one five-track EP to date, and what an EP it is. Their self-titled EP released in 2006 immediately reminds you of a certain My Bloody Valentine. But rather than being a complete rip off of Loveless this EP sounds like the great, lost EP that MBV never released after Loveless. This is indeed the most perfect five tracks of sonic nirvana released this side of the turn of the millennium, the layers of effects-laden guitars and submerged vocals will take your head right into the clouds. The band are still touring but there are no signs of a full-length album release at the moment seemingly. We can only hope.
Fantastic lost musical treasures. You're right about the mysterious band, LSD and the Search For God, the wall of sound drone and the processed guitar with the ringing melodic overtones sounds a lot like the guitar playing of Kevin Shields.

It' a pity that Kevin himself has spent the past 20 years mostly remixing other people's albums instead of forming a a new band. Such is the joyless life of the musical perfectionist.
