Shadowy and nocturnal, melancholic but not gloomy, the mood is best delivered by exploiting the sounds of the genre’s staples, but with a good dose of personality. The vocals bring in the sore notes: voice too dry and too 'forward' to be entirely shoegaze, nasal and juvenile; vocal lines dragged and lacking hooks up to monotony.
