This band used to be one of my favorites doing the modern grungegaze thing that bands like My Ticket Home started doing in this era. I loved their most recent record a lot, that album and this debut record scratched the right itch for me a few years ago, but upon revisiting, I just think it's solid. If this didn't come out a year before My Ticket Home's Unreal record, I'd say that this is tapping into them pretty hard, but now I feel like this style was just starting to come ... read more
The first 5 songs on this album are all really great, and then it falls off a little bit. It's on the grungier side of Shoegaze and overall has a suprisingly uniuqe sound to it. The best songs on this album are the best because the riffs are just more interesting and because they are much more emotional. Other songs are good, but sound more straightforward punk with some shoegaze influence. I really like Cool In Motion but the vocals on that song suck, they sound like Blink-182.

The drowsy shoegaze is one of their best features. It's crazy to see it fade into something more coherent on their newer releases. There was something dreamy and captivating on here. Some questionable vocal mixing on here, but a nice emotional journey non the less.
very good listen, this is a great first lp that builds off the "far removed" ep very well without as much of a grunge influence
While I found a few of tracks to be a snooze fest, Narrow Head does pull out with an overall solid record. With so many tracks that sound good in theory but are executed sluggishly, I can't bring myself to really enjoy much of anything here too thoroughly. A good example being Wallflower. I swear I blinked and the song ended with nothing of note ever popping up. However, because of my love for Shoegaze and a few good tracks, it gets my positive vote in the end.
Shoegaze-Grunge Melancholy
This 11 track 36 min LP was Narrow Heads debut LP. While it's an alright debut it doesn't have any very high points throughout the album, TheLP seemingly loses cohesion after track 5 making it not a good LP to listen through fully again just something you comeback to for singles. It does have a very cool cover tho.
Gonna give this LP 72/100. Enjoyable but nothing too memorable
