"I saw this band on the (Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth's record label) Ecstatic Peace website and didn't think much of it. The name didn't catch me and the album cover was non-descript. Then I heard one of the songs on the Ecstatic Peace podcast and was blown away. The music sounded like sonic youth but stripped down (mostly just voice and two guitars with some percussion) slow, medative and beautiful. I ordered it instantly.
It arrived today and I have listened to eight or nine times in a row, no joke.
If you like the new folk stuff, specifically the awesome atmmosphere of all those new england bands, then you will love this.
If you are a Sonic Youth fan who likes to hear their influence young interesting bands, you will love this.
Although if you don't like Sonic Youth don't be deterred, this is a folk album, full of three minute vocal driven songs.
This record is perfect for autumn, if you are reading this you really should just buy it."
