    It's as if Swervedriver never left us. [Nov 2012, p.103]

    It's 2012, and the lush expanse of Mauve, both feet planted in 1991, still has the ability to spread over you slowly and entirely, like a veil of noise.

    'Mauve' isn't a bad album. It's competently made, it's mixed pretty well. It's done well. But it's been done before, and better.

    Great album. I think personally this is one of the best shoegaze albums of all time and that Ringo Deathstarr deserves much more acclaim.
