THE REVIEW
I think this album still has to be released, or maybe they're reissuing it, the important thing is just one: it's beaut(i)ful.
"i," yes, because nowadays it's hard to amaze us, Further Out by Cloakroom has many beautiful things and some not-so-beautiful things that could have been avoided, let's start with the beautiful things:
- Smashing Pumpkins-like fuzz.
- Slowcore and Sadcore
- Noise
the ugly things instead:
- Emocore-like voice
- Oh there's another track...
- ...and another... and another... it drags on too long
The album is nice with lots of emotions, lots of tears, but with 5 songs it would have made its very noticeable mark, instead the tracks never seem to end and keep on and on and on, abusing the running time (damn Billy Corgan and his double 75-minute albums, you've ruined a generation of musicians). Let me tell you right away that it lasts 45 minutes, not excessive, but in the second half they start to get confused and do something that might not suit them, strongly going off the rails; But I trust them and look forward to their second album.

Summary by Bot
Cloakroom's 'Further Out' impresses with its blend of fuzz, slowcore, and emotional noise elements. However, the album suffers from an overly long runtime and vocals described as overly emosonic. While the first half holds promise, the latter half feels unfocused. The reviewer remains optimistic about Cloakroom's future work.Tracklist
