Agreeable and comforting Slint/Unwound/Fugazi inspired stuff with maybe a lingering aftertaste of grunge in the mix too.
One of those bands with an instant familiarity that even though you're listening for the first time feel like they're an 'old friend'.
Lowercase's first stellar album, Kill the Lights, is a masterful slowcore album. Various sections have these amazing emotional post-hardcore riffs, like "Stairways", a short song with a beautiful riff. The magnum opus of Kill the Lights, "You're a King", starts off gloomy, soon exploding into some of the best vocals in emo. Even the weakest song on here, "She Takes Me", is a great noisy post-hardcore track. Easily a staple in 90s emotional music.
I liked a lot of the concepts explored on this album, but it didn't feel very fleshed out. Album is definitely worth it, I just wish there was a little more to it
