Release Notes:
The fact these songs were recorded by an indie-smitten couple
in the confines of their own little love-nest should really be
enough to have them fed straight to the snarling dogs of
rock'n'roll. But tug on those leashes one second, for this
debut mini-LP packs a hefty powerpop punch. Widescreen opener
The Greatest Light Is the Greatest Shade is all fuzzy guitar
textures, reverb-soaked drums and bass cranked up to "epic" -
and all this from their bedroom? Clearly, Ritzy Bryan (vocals,
guitar) and Rhydian Dafydd (bass) must argue over who's stolen
all the duvet covers in Red Rocks ampitheatre. Elsewhere, the
pace is upped for giddy, candy-laced indie pop with a sheen
that recalls the Breeders or Warehouse-era H│sker D│. Gorge
yourself and it gets sickly, but it's mostly more sugar-rush
than sick bag.
