MusicMavenMay 24, 2006They bring the 80's retro style without overwhelming histrionics (like the Killers/Bravery) or rigid Ian-Curtis-like vocals (a la Interpol/Editors). Instead, the streamlined goth-pop and indie-rock sounds are complemented by the emotive yet distant vocals. A slightly different, and very enjoyable bit of post-punk revival.

From note one, the listener is hermetically sealed into Chosen Darkness' unique musical universe where overdriven bass leads, pinpoint guitar lines and ominous synths hit with maximum impact.

Just about any of the album's selections would have fit perfectly on a vintage 120 Minutes episode.

If the bulk of the album is for the car, the bar, the social occasion, then moments like ["Today"] are for headphones, bedrooms, intimate and solitary states. The presence of both increases the breadth of this assured LP, and establishes ILYBICD as being no longer a band to watch, but a band to listen to.
