Comment: it is said that this is the musical project by the filmmaker Jeffrey Hoyt. Anyway, these 8 ditties (most of them do include just a few rows of lyrics) are truly enthralling in their dreamy, reverb-loaded guitar strums and mesmerizing arpeggio-driven twangs which at times are interfered by harmonica and female vocal-relied harmonies. It reminds a little bit of Slowdive`s quite unfamiliar songs like Richard, and Summer Daze (which are already more inclined toward the aesthetics of Mojave 3) moreover, as if these ones were remixed by Avey Tare-Panda Bear and. Moreover, Hoyt seems to be influenced by the spaghetti western themes and saccharine underground-ish easiness. For instance, listen to Dunes, a blissed-out incantation/insight which sounds like indie-esque Morricone. Graveyard Shift is one of the ditties in 2011 as similarly as Daysailer is one of the albums in 2011. A truly lush shift indeed.
