As impressively considered as the group are when it comes to their compositions, they evoke a cold feeling of invulnerability within their music that’s hard to avoid.
I enjoy Pinkshinyultrablast. The band does a good job sonically and musically taking pointers from early shoegaze legends like MBV, Ride, theI enjoy Pinkshinyultrablast. The band does a good job sonically and musically taking pointers from early shoegaze legends like MBV, Ride, the Cocteau Twins, and especially Slowdive in their most pop-flavored days. Grandfeathered, coming so soon after their previous record, is being eaten up by shoegaze fans just like its predecessor, and with good reason. The production is spot-on and the sound is like eating way too much candy at one time. However, I find little on this record that is musically adventurous or original. It is shoegaze_record_2.0, which is fine for big fans of the genre, but I have found myself drifting away from Grandfeathered on subsequent listens.
