Well this is lovely, but I would have sworn that was a woman singing. Apparently, it's not. Slowcore may be my new thing: I don't think I've heard any band in the genre yet that I don't like. Shoegaze too, and this has both, and more. “Apocalypse” is a real standout, as is “Opera House”, but then the whole album is excellent. I could definitely see these guys taking their place, in time, beside such giants of the genre as Slowdive, Low and Ride.
