#2101 Flying Saucer Attack - Flying Saucer Attack

One of the noisiest shoegaze albums around, all frayed edges and chainsaw links whirring by - Ride meets Guided By Voices, that home recording sound giving everything a live, buzzy edge.

And I don't go GBV as my signpost because there's none of those laser leads - this is pure landscape, pure texture, nothing allowed to rise to the top and take over: vocals, melodies, basslines, all gasping out of the waves of noise like a half-drowned dog.

An experimental album with the process showing through - sounding damn composed for being scraped off the bathroom floor 3.5/5
