I have fallen in love with this album from UK's Buffseeds. I had it for a while, but had not gotten around to listening to it, as I have a sizeable pile of never played CDs. 'The Picture Show' is lush and melancholy with airs of Placebo and Feeder. Fans of shoe-gazer gloom pop will dig this record. Check it out!

There are times when you listen to an album for the first time and it feels perfect for the moment. Think of Coldplay's Parachutes or Feeder's Echo Park. The Picture show contains utterly beautiful, bitter-sweet, spirit lifting tunes, the sort of music that you hear snatches of during scenes of high emotion in Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Roswell. Kieran Scragg's haunting voice delivers lyrics which are deep, moody and moving over swirling keyboards and strings.Yet there are accelerator tracks of urgent guitars and driving drum rythms. A wonderfull uplifting and spiritual work of pop rock.

there's a little song that keeps popping up on my ipod lately, the song is called "Barricade" and it's been played several times in random mode on my train ride to work, that i had to pull my ipod out of my bag and see who is singing this song. well, it turned out to be the Buffseeds. i had had this cd and their "sparkle me" ep for a few months but never gave them the proper listening attention they needed. so i sat down and listened again. my conclusion...these are good songs and the Buffseeds are a good band with promise. alot of pretty good songs with a few great ones. but overall, i tend to get just a little bit bored. a nice little record, nonetheless.
