Comment: soon RMH will celebrate the 10th year anniversary. When I started in January 2009 the first comment was made about Leafes' In The Mountain's Belly being issued on Swedish imprint Redstarcommunity. The Late Virginia Summer's 11-notch outing comes out of the same label and it is also a lovely lo-fi case, however, in the vein of indie and post-rock mixed case. I would like to call such sort of music cowbell indie because you hear glockenspiel chords in the middle of the lightly churning guitars. At times it is variegated with sounds coming out from the nature - from a meadow, from a forest, at times the course is a bit changed by adding droning sequences and lofty orchestrations and a little electronics to the mix. A positive point of the release is due to no sterile production. As it was mentioned above it is a lo-fi apparition. In a nutshell, get it, enjoy it.
