like sketchy film
the colourless
and sensing filled
the haziness
and clarified
the flickering fog
and open skies
in floating up (I realize in clear calm clouds)
the slow descent of land (the simple thoughts I know)
and sad understanding of distance (in faces for)

On first listen I immediately felt a feverish familiarity, a spacey, frayed-wire connection to that dreamy echo of an angsty youth. I imagined Eno singing over Kilbey arrangements, and the dark embrace I always got from most anything on the 4AD label... from 80s Cocteau Twins and Bauhaus to Red House Painters and Lush in the 90s... really the entire cast of wonderfully introspective bands spawned during those decades. Wrenching, drifting... insistent, compelling. And deeply moving. Marvelous! Dr. "Buzz" Frenzy (Matthew J Hesse)
