Nov 2, 2012Cold Showers uses that cavalier attitude behind such a simple bedrock of references--Joy Division (a song called "New Dawn" all but writes a countermelody to "Insight"), The Church, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Strokes, Interpol--that creates a level of tension across Love and Regret that sustains them far better than any of their peers.

Nov 2, 2012Love and Regret is a tantalizing first step from a group that has all the right influences and hopefully will continue to build on them with fresh, new ideas.

Nov 2, 2012At times, the music is playing it a little too safe under the reverb. More dynamics or a bit more vastness in the sound might've elevated tracks like "New Dawn" and "Violent Cries".
