Comment: although I have criticized the so-called nugaze artists I have to admit while listening to these artists I like their music. However, thereafter I forgot what I had been listening because there is a little to be evaluated on its own. Of course, there have been some artists and some albums I used to bring once in a while. For instance, Dykehouse`s Midrange (2004, Ghostly International), and Sereena Maneesh`s self-titled debut album (2005, HoneyMilk). One can find out elements from both of these albums on this Seattle, US-based artist. Dykehouse`s dance-appealed electronic grooves and Sereena Maneesh`s noisy yet truly beatific impulses. Furthermore, beatific because of being noisy first of all. From the first seconds and glimpses at the cover print and lyrics the 12-track is as provocative as suggestive as mind-blowing. Are these sexy dreams or dreamy sex? All this theme to be set aside – to move away from the carnal one to a heaven one – can also hear cinematic orchestrations. I like Erik Blood is being adept to float off from obvious comparisons with My Bloody Valentine, and other shoegaze juggernauts. His musical cognition seems to be a bit different. In a word, it can be considered a nugaze masterpiece.

Comment: the artist's 11-track outing is intense through different sonic aspects and creative playfulness. It starts off and at times comes back to a reverberant droning as if trudging through muddy soil, at times it is based on galvanized guitar playing and improvisations, at times providing majestic inclinations through ambient music, and most surprisingly, through a stupendously suggestive dream pop/chillwave-esque ray through its bottomless haziness. Although the latter element is represented as bare as a glimpse it will make up a contrast in one's mind and memory. Slightly simple iterative motives are mingled with more complicated endeavours and transgressive progressions. There is no premature fixing of style at all. With purpose to show this release as a true lavish one it should not be misunderstood as a superficial approach. All those droning facets create a milieu and impression as something truly obsessive. Indeed, we need it within and through music.

Comment: Joe Wozny and Dave Merson Hess spawned the idea to get together in music while having a strike as mattress sellers in Houston. As musicians they both did have a base from earlier times and therefore one should not surprise at all while hearing an adept and stylistically wide result. They play an impressive range of instruments on the 10-track debut album. From immersive acoustic guitar playing and epic Americana and ennobling drone rock progressions to lo-fi poppy electronic and convulsive kraut glimpses it can be considered their drive to come out and fulfill their need for new music. The solid outing is a bit in the discography of Reverse Engine.
