I am pleased to announce that even in my late
age and having been doing this music thing for longer than some of the other
people doing it have even been alive, I can still be surprised by bands. While I didn’t expect for this album to be
bad, per se, I never expected for it to be quite this good.
It
begins with a lot of music and all I can think about is this becoming some sort
of instrumental post rock mess, which wouldn’t have been too bad because of the
music quality itself, but then the vocals kick in and boy does this change my
mind about everything that I know about music.
I’m
glad that this was released in January (It was, right?) because it’s really
setting the bar for what other releases come out this year, in terms of my now
being able to say “It’s good, but not Crushed Stars good”. Had this come out in December of last year,
I might have had to do a bit more reconsidering.
Not
quite shoegaze but some kind of gaze, Crushed Stars just flat out rocks and has
the power to back it up.
