Comment: In any cases, The Bilinda Butchers` album was very expected for. The first experience of mine related somehow to the duo`s music was their single under the Beko DSL wherein they mesmerizingly covered the Panic At The Disco`s track This Love Is Fucking Right!. The other part of it, Tulips, is represented on this 6-pieced set as well. However, the San Franciscans` recognizable sound - consisting of strumming guitars and chillwave-ish synthetic layers - reflects upon itself as one of the most masterful progressions in the vein of MBV`s Loveless. Moreover, as Kevin Shields used to warp guitar sounds and pitch buried vocal lines, Michal & Adam used to bend particles into sublime chords and sexy moods surrounding dreamily a listener`s ears, however, balancing craftily between the old and new tradition. One of the albums of 2011 for sure. The closest relative to them? Memoryhouse, of course.
