CRITIC REVIEWS

Drowned in Sound

Everything Else Matters seeps with a vibrant energy radiating through its eight individual pieces.

80
Tiny Mix Tapes

On Everything Else Matters, the band funnels the Kansas post-rock group Appleseed Cast’s delay-pedal wizardry and open-ended song forms into bright pop that’s more in line with Astrobrite alum Andrew Prinz’s Mahogany.

AllMusic
There are a lot of bands working this angle in the early 2010s; Pinkshinyultrablast is one of the best, and their debut album shows exactly why.

No Ripcord

Everything Else Matters is a strong and accomplished debut by a band that, whilst clearly taking a lot of their cues from the past, are still looking to push sonic boundaries and create intelligent mood pieces.

80
Clash

From the looped saccharine sighs and bass dips soaring through ‘Metamorphosis’ to the epic tempo-toying chimes of ‘Marigold’, ‘Everything Else Matters’ could just be the alternative winter hymnal you’ve been searching for.

The 405

Everything Else Matters is an inventive, often genuinely exciting blend of noise and pop sensibilities not really heard since the early days of Lush.

With a little more emphasis placed on creating catchy, melodious songs beneath the swathes of undeniably beautifully glimmering sound, this unlikely lot could end up ruling the world.

continuando a maratona, chegamos aqui no primeiro álbum da banda Pinkshinyultrablast, nomeada após uma música de exato nome da banda astrobrite.

aqui o álbum junta shoegaze, dreampop e noise pop pra criar os pilares que sustentam a sonoridade que este álbum terá, e sinceramente, apesar de não trazer nada realmente novo pro shoegaze, o sono aqui é uma versão modernizada e bem refinada do mesmo.

Shoegaze to me is more about the atmosphere rather than the technicalities. Except for few bumps here and there, this creates the essence just right.

Dosent happen much were the opener and closer are definitely the worst tracks, and also 2 of the longest, but thats the case here. Its a pretty great Shoegaze record without doing anything too original. Wouldn't go as far as to says its underrated but definitely worth checking out for its highlights.

Old Rating: 77
Verdict: Good as I recall, but not essential. Few tracks on here for playlists though!
Favorite Tracks: Holy Forest, Glitter, Metamorphosis
