Debut album from Vancouver, Canada band is a beautifully eloquent indie guitar roar that’s characterized by huge waves of buzzing melody, gargantuan-noisy walls of shoegaze feedback and a punk energy/attitude. These are brilliantly consistent songs that pull you in with a rapturous wash of oscillating turbulence, and hook you with dreamy blasts of melodic power. The band embraces dissonance like a welcome friend, and sets the room alive with layers of billowing vibration. Recalls bands like Swervedriver, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Sonic Youth, The Megaphonic Thrift, Cheatahs, Whirr, Husker Du, Jesus & Mary Chain, Dinosaur Jr. Weed plays addictive & invigorating music with muscle that injects a refreshing shot of youthful energy, confidence and new life into the shoegaze arena. Recommended.
