"The second best album of the year, after Fleet Foxes. If you believe all the other critics who want you to go out and get drab nonsense like St. Vincent or Girls or whatever, don't miss out on this. And go see them live. They are excellent."  Reply

"69 is as important as Treasure by Cocteau Twins and Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine when it comes to pioneering the shoegaze movement. 69 is an album in its own dimension. "Crazy Blue" is the spiraling gateway drug to a dream world of complex emotions and abstract ideas, and "Spanish Quay (..."  [+]  Reply
