It starts, but do they sound like sepulchral Jesus Mary Chain? Alright.
A wall.
A black wall, smooth, with no holds, impenetrable.
Glacial noise, cold, light-years away from the youthful rage of "Taste". I hear resignation stirring in granite noise surfaces and killer feedbacks.
Take portions of the first Loop, cover it with tar, remove the vocals and play it at a very slow speed.
The early Loops, then out comes the Stooges spirit, Velvet mantra-like noise.
This work slams the door in everyone's face.
Distant spectral voices, electric storms. Storms born from a scream held in the throat.
Perhaps a child of the electric explorations of the most tormented Kraut after an immaterial spin of dark noise shoegaze. Blues of pierced souls.
"A door in the face".
Too bad I've had many doors slammed in my face.

‘As Light Return’ consists indeed in a skillful manipulation of empty spaces in which sound waves loaded with fuzz, feedback, and distortions compose music that is not just avant-garde for its own sake, but what is a real album made of songs that hit straight to the heart and nervous system of the listeners.
Shoegaze here has nothing to do with it, if this has been considered a phase in the history of the Telescopes, of those sounds remains only a certain trace in the emotional component which is in any case present even in the darkest and noisiest compositions.
