The first thing that came to mind listening to this record was the early MY BLOODY VALENTINE 7"s and other releases from that time period on Creation or Lazy Records. Maybe a hint of PASTELS on some songs but nowhere near as cloyingly twee. Perhaps the closest thing to me would be Florida's PRAYER CHAIN, a more shimmering, ethereal but straightforward take on DINOSAUR JR. This came out last September but I have been cranking lately as the weather warms up and I find myself riding my bicycle around town more. It puts my head in the clouds in a good way, especially when the feedback and crunch kicks in on a song like "David."
