Add Date: April 26
Artist: Should
Album: Like a Fire Without a Sound
Label: Words on Music
Genre: Shoegaze, pop
Comments: From the promoter: "It has been 13 years since Should's last album proper, the complex shoegaze/postrock haze of 1998's Feed Like Fishes. While much time has passed, the core elements of Should have not wavered: the ultra-sweet male/female vocal melodies, the penchant for the unexpected, and the ability to find beauty in the minimal. The band's immaculately crafted third album, Like a Fire Without a Sound, infuses the pop sensibilities of Eno and Yo La Tengo while maintaining the personal eccentricities and atmospheric flourishes that have always set Should apart from the pack.
"Eschewing the fashionable trend of burying production in cavernous lo-fi reverb and fuzz, Like a Fire Without a Sound is not warmed-over 1990s-era Should. The layers of fuzzed guitar have been peeled back and the pop quotient is dialed up considerably, aiming instead to balance the twin peaks of soundcraft and songcraft." Overall, a wonderful record--very laid back and toned down, slightly shoegazey without being heavy-handed, quiet vocals, and carefully layered guitars; try tracks 1, 2 and 4.
