Clipped guitar and airy, martial drumming leads the way with curly bass action in the verses. Tension and volume builds through the bridge, leading to a burst of colourful guitar action.
The Shipping News and this album in particular generate some distinctly lovely soundscapes, marrying the Slint type spoken word wig-outs with the poise and elegant classicism of Rachel's (bassist Jason Noble's other band). The tension-release builds over and over until we reach the climactic finale and escalating guitar fireworks.
