There's a place where the term 'heavy' ceases to be a useful adjective, where the desperate, frenetic sound waves reach a point of no return and distort into a chaotic cacophony of feedback, static, and white noise. In their brilliant debut, this UK trio take the sound pioneered by bands such as My Bloody Valentine and JAMC and combine it with the despondent melancholy of post-punk bands such as Joy Division.
The standout track here by far is the absolutely brilliant Don't Think Lover, which although lyrically simple is the perfect illustration of this genetic cross. But the entire album should be considered a required reading for anybody who has ever considered experimenting with an effects pedal, because this is how it's done.
