Songs seems to be the culmination of what The Telescopes have strived for over the last decade, and is an album that’s more truly shoegaze than the genre has seen in years.
A darker, drone-y twist to the ever-pulsating rhythm of shoegaze but fell quite short for the most part. It's a tricky marriage between drone and shoegaze because there were a lot of times in this album where things went off longer than it should, at least as how I hear it. Some melodies with the vocals were questionable and forgettable. But when things were right, I was all ears.
