is it out?

've given it a few spins.
I think it's pretty solid. Still shamelessly derivative but still joyously so.
NIce touches of krautrock and the bunnymen.

I think its a sharp improvement on Strange House, a lot more musically sophisticated and daring. Im impressed with how they have progressed and, whilst they clearly borrow from their influences, they bring their own particular drones to the table. It can at times become monotonous but we cant have everything.

7.9/ 10 for me

ill go 3.5/5
I think its a pretty damn good pop/shoegaze/new wave album. I t borrows so much from MBV and the bunnymen but it puts them in really quite accessible packages, with fully realised ideas for the most part. I went on a road trip over the past couple of days, it found heavy rotation.

Oh fabulous that there's a thread on these now! This has definitely been one of my faves from this year (along with Screen Vinyl Image - Interceptors, Fever Ray's album, and the new Manics one)- it is refreshing to hear a band's influences in there without it coming across as a rip-off. Worth it for "New Ice Age" and "Sea Within a Sea", especially. 4.5/5
