That's decent. Prefer the instrumentation to the vocals if I'm honest. Bit of a de rigeur Cocteau Twins feel, personally I think there's a bit too much of this dream pop/fuzzy guitar stuff around of late and this isn't quite good enough to push it right to the top of the pile. But yeah, it's decent.

Yea - I generally don't like the new-school fuzzy dream pop bands but I was pleasantly surprised by this song. Good enough to make me want to hear the album anyway. Usually this type of band wouldn't even get that far with me. Also, I'm kind of automatically turned off when I hear about bands operating in Brooklyn in the mid-00s so I had really low expectations before I listened.

EDIT: I tried and it was a horrible experience. After 3 songs I swore to myself that I would listen the whole thing but I still didn't. After about the middle of song #5 I couldn't stand it anymore and put on Pornography (The Cure) instead. This band is or has become another pale and limp imitation of an amalgamation of good music from the past several decades. I don't know how these people afford to live in Brooklyn. Awful.
