After two EPs comes a self-produced ten track album from this four-piece band from Turin.
It mainly consists of three to four minute tunes with anonymous muffled vocals sung over a grinding, occasionally jangly beat in the style of early REM.
They claim that the "main theme is fear as a dark place from which we have to escape" and it would be nice if this bid for liberation came with a bit more energy and joy.
Instead, the songs blend into one, each infused with a hazy melancholy bordering on apathy typified by Summer Always Comes Too Late For Us during which the only line is the title repeated twelve times over a sleepy unchanging beat.
Mediocre at best.
