The debut album from Ira Vail is built from familiar elements, but rearranged in a way that feels new. Dream-pop riffs give way to thrashy post-punk walls of noise. '90s alternative vocal melodies adorn intricate harp-lined compositions. Imagine Cocteau Twins by way of Pageninetynine, or Elliott Smith by way of Alice In Chains, or Nirvana by way of Enya. The result is something beautifully strange, melodic, dark, and shimmering with life.
