Krökta Tankar och Brända Vanor

Released

Imagine Mazzy Star with less money or Jesus and Mary Chain with fewer Reids. Amateur Hour are the best-named band of the year, but things are different in Sweden. Guitar, we think, echo, we can tell, and songs, we can feel. Dumpster psych, hospitalsockgaze, beneath-fi guitar shambling. There’s also some clarity and digital boofing. More range than the old days of lo-fi!
