This Is Where Our Hearts Collide

The Travis who write 11 beautiful songs (it can happen).
The Red House Painters of “Old Ramon”, the moment before falling asleep (it’s inevitable).
The Magic Car of “Yellow Main Sequence” but less fortunate: to sell 7000 copies they had to add the Scott 4 (it can happen).
Something of Knife In The Water, “Biltmora Children” or “Decoration Day Flood”, since they all sound the same anyway (it can happen).
The Divine Comedy doing ad libitum “The Perfect Lovesong”, but the girl has already been gone for a while, and you’re singing it alone (it's inevitable).
The Angil of “Teaser for matter”, or maybe it was the Chineseburn of “Burning sensation” because if you’ve decided to cut your veins, the last thing you care about is remembering who was playing (it can happen).
The Divine Comedy of “Becoming More Like Alfie”, but Alfie has long since been gone.
The Ramsay MidWood of “Shoot etcetera etcetera”, but do you really expect me to remember, songs like “The Crocodile’s Lament”, oh please.

Depressed stuff anyway: a whining voice, a whining guitar, a whining drum, a bass behind the wagon of the dead, stuff that when you’re 20 makes you feel damn misunderstood amidst all this chaos but at 30 if you’re still alive, you start to worry.

For the more demanding: under the entry “Rural folk” (but what does it mean?).

Beautiful debut.
