Album artwork
TUTV: Shoegaze at its transcendental best. After a fuzzy intro, your ears get engulfed by a wide-ranging flood of galvanic guitars, dragging you into a whirlpool of six-string electricity with a melodramatic and bombastic resonance, while Smyth‘s velvety vocals hover all over the voltaic storm. One of his best compositions to date.
‘Keep me out of heaven
Its just another place’.
