New Music Releases
New full-length from a Canadian quartet whose music was described as a cross between Beach Boys and Velvet Underground. Its a follow-up to their 2008 self-titled debut.
In places claustrophobic, conjuring walking dreams of sexual anguish and general decay, elsewhere soaring with vintage guitar tones and vocal melodies or collapsing into swirling, mesmerizing swells, “Public Strain” cycles through insomnia, paranoia, resignation and euphoria, to capture a band with an undeniable voice coming into full awareness of their craft.
