A groundbreaking work of US shoegaze! This masterpiece from the late '90s, where experimental spirit and originality flourished, is being reissued for the first time in the world!
This is their final album to date, and it is a testament to their innovative approach, which was inspired by UK shoegaze and alternative rock, led by My Bloody Valentine, and which saw them pursue an original, experimental sound in the US emo/indie scene.
The album's standout track is the nearly eight-minute "Your Imagination." Its spacey soundscape creates a deep, immersive experience, making it synonymous with the band as a masterpiece that foreshadowed the new wave of shoegaze music that emerged in the late '90s. However, even more noteworthy are tracks like "Puzzled Into Pieces" and "In Between And After," characterized by their thick, synthesizer-driven electronic sound, their collage-like developments and ensembles that vary in tempo, and their occasionally bouncy melodies. The resulting sense of ethereal floating is hard to find in any other shoegaze band. While echoing bands like My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, and The Flaming Lips, their mutant, eclectic sound also shares similarities with contemporary shoegaze acts like Swirlies, Serena-Maneesh, and even "They Are Gutting a Body of Water."
