Another great effort from Phosphorescent with spacious almost orchestral spans in many songs punctuated by his characteristic voice. Spanning from delicate vibes to a big sound (a la War on Drugs), this album is a front-to-back listener. In the middle are some melodic songs that have a grab-a-drink-and-listen tropical and nearly calypso vibe (Track 3, […]
Arlie’s “Wait” has a very happy alt-rock feel to it that you can sway or dance to. Definitely sounds like a band you’d hear off campus at someone’s backyard party.

On previous efforts, Windhand let loose glorious moments of crushing gloom and fuzz that made it clear that the band had all of the pieces necessary to make a Sleep-esque record…they just couldn’t quite keep your attention.
