Their initial sound clicked along, searched and then found oblique treasure in a deep DIY post-punk void one might associate with 39 Clocks or the Swell Maps - sometimes aggressively sharp and pointed, other times given to captivating and off-centered murky quaalude meandering in all the ways you love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI’m a big fan of Stanley Martinez’ vocals and guitar, and have been since the first time I saw \u0026amp; heard Rays, and he transported his A-game to a recording session yet again. Likewise Amber Sermeno - we all swooned for her fronting The World, and while we only get one lone track w\/ her vocals, it might even be the best thing on here: the chugging \u0026amp; propulsive “Unspoken Chair”. Andy Human - well, that guy just moves from strength to strength, excelling as a bass player here and general instrumental conductor of an echoey and wide-open sound partially transported from the hinterlands, moors\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand home studios of 1979 Northern England.
