I’m going to let you in on a secret: there are certain genre pointers that turn up in PR material that inspire the deepest, darkest ennui to rise up within me. Drone. Shoegaze. Psych (especially when preceding ‘rock’). Fuzzy. And it’s not because I don’t like all that stuff; I do. It’s that too many new bands employ those terms to suggest that their music is dense, and brooding, and intellectual, when in fact it is dense, and brooding, and shit. So I’d like to thank Wussy for restoring my faith. Because Forever Sounds incorporates all those elements, and it also happens to be an exceptional album.
