Calling your album The Sound Of Young America makes for quite a statement.
Particularly if you're from Cardiff. After the high-octane mono chord
pummelling of the opening title track, these nu-gazers (for I believe that to
be the accepted terminology) let loose with the epic Slowdive stylings of
'I'll Always Be Within You When There's No One Left Inside'. The same chorus
'n' reverb drenched sound pervades over the remainder of the album too, with
a touch of expansive whale song guitar soaring over 'Second Wave'. More
interesting terrain is covered by the Spacemen 3-influenced droning fuzz of
'... You Broke A Heart I Gave To You' and 'Don't Let Go' a '60s-style psych
behemoth that lunges into Cathedral-sized Kevin Shields noise riffing by it's
end.

created one beautiful summer started a journey of noise, repetition and
dreams, with the band recognised as part of Radio1 best unsigned bands of
2006. The Voices released three albums, featured on two BBC radio sessions
before disbanding in 2009. The band reformed in 2017.
