#1222 Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory

There's some of what I loved about their newer one on this, its predecessor: those motorik drums, those chuggy // stabbyfunk guitar, that railing against the everyday. But here it's much more emo, more exhausted and exhausting, still pulling a leg or two from the much before the soaring to come. Separation's a blast, and Wasted Days is kind of brilliant, weaving 9-minute tension around minimalist emo "I thought I would be more than this" x 100 --- but mostly this is for sinking rather than rising, a stepping stone of state on the way to some real good motion 3/5
