4.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best new shoegaze!, May 14, 2008

I was very excited for the release of the first full-length album from The Daysleepers, and I wasn't disappointed! While my favorite songs of this band are still on their EPs, the upbeat, dreamlike, and rhythmic characteristics of their songs that I love so much are found on most of the songs on this album.

A few songs on the album are more heavy and less melodic than songs on previous releases. But, Twilight Bloom, Megatron Supernova, and Release the Kraken are the three songs that best represent the potential of this group and display the depths of their musical talent.

This bank was recommended to me by a guy I met in a bar in NYC getting ready to enter the Bowery Ballroom for a Mark Kozelek concert. I bought it without knowing much about them, just a hunch. I'm so glad I bought it. It's the only thing I listen to now for a few weeks. It's a mix between a slow Cure album and an ocean relaxing sound. Very happy with it!

This album is one of the best that I've come across in a long time. In my opinion, this CD rates right up there with the best from Chandeen, Love Is Colder Than Death, sToa, and Autumn's Gray Solace, leaning more toward shoegaze than goth in atmosphere. Vocals are mostly a wonderfully harmonizing duet, surrounded by lush soundscapes. It becomes more addictive with each listening, and leaves one longing for more from this artist. Stand-out tracks are "Release the Kraken", "Twilight Bloom", "Summerdreamer" and "Tiger in the Sea". Also check out The Daysleepers' EPs "The Soft Attack" on CD, and "Hide Your Eyes" (downloadable only).
