Mar 19, 2013The economy of lyrics here is simultaneously a subtle and overt tactic here used to enhance the knotty instrumentation that makes up the majority of the LP. For the modern listener, vocals are immediately what jump to the forefront; ASIWYFA, however, wisely treat their words as it would a note on a guitar.

-
Mar 15, 2013All Hail Bright Futures withers under the glare of its own garish spotlight, and no amount of zest, pep or joviality can save it.
-
Mar 15, 2013All Hail Bright Futures sees And So I Watch You From Afar fulfilling the promise that both their debut and follow up teased.
