"Tracks
such as "Diver" and "Feather" are leaps and bounds beyond anything
they've done before. In lieu of their trademark typhoon of guitars,
we find baroque pop influences, chiming Byrds-like arpeggios,
New Zealand pop sparkle, and the best singing Lavallee has ever
done. " "This record breaks
enough musical ground to be accessible to all but the most fickle
of musical tastes, but the focus of the songs remains a somewhat
slowed sonic hullabaloo that would really appeal to fans of Ride, Slowdive, The
Autumns, Starflyer 59, Swervedriver, and the like. " "On this album The
Curtain Society figure out a way to accentuate the best parts
of their sound and managed to reign in the over lengthiness
of past record’s songs. That’s definitely something
worth celebrating." "The
songs are woven together so tightly, with sounds so perfectly
and subtly varied, that it is nearly impossible to skip
a single track as you meander through the entire work." |
