10 Dec 2013: Despite the resurgence of synthesizer-based bands in recent years, Albany has largely missed the blissed-out genre chillwave altogether. Which is ironic, given that what many New York City progenitors of the sound are attempting to romanticize looks a lot like our upstate summers. Its not surprising, then, that thisAlbany band would eventually come along and craft one of the genres great records. Lombardos vocals are verbed-out to gauzy effect and when Rogers guitar enters, its like a heaven-beam splitting the clouds. The interchange between his vocal offerings and Rogers glassy guitar creates that perfect vibe.An otherworldly sound to just drift away with. Crisp drums, warm synths, and big guitar riffs to great effect.
