about

Second album, 2005 and 2011

Second album from the Glasgow duo and this - don't get me wrong - is more of the same. 19 tracks of stream of consciousness thrown down on an 8-track and thrust roughly on to cd - indeed, there's more than 19 here, as tracks merge into each other and generally collapse into chaos. It's a curious amalgam of spindly guitar, gloomy bass and fractured vocals which calls on myriad influences - on 'Erased' it's somewhere between Ballboy and Pavement, 'Memory' snaps at the senses like an acerbic Spare Snare, 'Chestnut' could be Sonic Youth unplugged; while Smog comes to mind more than once in what is an intriguing listen.

"Sentimentalism is the working-off on yourself of feelings you haven't really got. We all want to have certain feelings: feelings of love, of passionate sex, of kindliness, and so forth. Very few people really feel love, or sex passion, or kindliness, or anything else that goes at all deep. So the mass just fake these feelings inside themselves. Faked feelings! The world is all gummy with them. They are better than real feelings, because you can spit them out when you brush your teeth; and then tomorrow you can fake them afresh."
