    This album was destined to get mixed reviews. Admittedly, this album took several listens to like, but Tired of Tomorrow is certainly not your typical shoegaze record which is something that has to be noted from the get-go. Tracks such as "Our Plague" and the title-track display that this band have become much more than a bunch of fuzzed out punks with a pedal board.

Admittedly, this album took several listens to like, but Tired of Tomorrow is certainly not your typical shoegaze record which is something that has to be noted from the get-go. Tracks such as "Our Plague" and the title-track display that this band have become much more than a bunch of fuzzed out punks with a pedal board. This album is certainly a homage to the 90's alternative scene with the droning guitar influences of Slowdive, the fuzzed-out punk sound of Nirvana, and at times the seemingly dreamy surfer rock tones of Starflyer 59 à la the Americana album. The band also pays respect to other 90's influences with the obvious presence of The Smashing Pumpkins and My Bloody Valentine in the track "Curse of the Sun". Overall, the album has a very upbeat feel to it but ultimately is a very somber production once the lyrics are unearthed. This is not easily achieved and that aspect of this album is overlooked. From everything that has happened to this band in the past year, to put out an album like this is nothing (no pun intended) short of incredible.

    Hazy My Bloody Valentine style riffs that have an almost spiritual feel to them mixed with debut Foo Fighters album type grunge. And if that's not enough there are moments of pure beauty

    Dropping the apocalyptic sound for a more melodic hangover, the misery is still there, but there’s glimpses of life in this follow up record. Less emphasis on 90s worship, and more about creating a unique and timeless sound.

    Nothing may not be particularly imaginative, but it’s so competent at its craft it’s hard to imagine any fan of the style complaining.

    Tired Of Tomorrow presents with a clearer, crisper sound than its predecessor. To call it clean would be neatening it up too much, but for better or worse it does feel sleeker.

    They move a rung up on the shoegaze ladder by toning things back even more than their 2014 record and what's even more noticeable is that quite a few directions taken here, ring similar to bands Yip worked on over the past couple years. Nothing, however, still have an extra something to their music.
