Incredible waves of music and sounds. The grunge vocals walk a fine line between creative/witty and hard to listen to. The consistence is solid through out the LP, and I love the various musical influences planted throughout its shoegaze roots. The composition and instrumentals are easily the strongest point, continuously drawing me into the songs.
All about it. Short and to the point without having to rush through things. Love the delivery and backing instrumentals.
A great blend of old head metal, shoegaze, and some other that often comes off too polished for me. I see the amazing skill he had to make this however, will def watch for more in the future.
I really enjoyed the vocals on this, definitely not what I was expecting but it kept me more engaged than the typical black metal leads you get. Also sick cover at the end.
Hudson Valley represent. I think this is their strongest work.
