Title Fight
Hyperview

THE REVIEW

Back in the presence of Debasio with infinite coolness.

Standard talk about Hyperview by Title Fight, when I randomly talk to someone and insist they absolutely listen to it, and they come out of it later after their (distracted) listening:

-Did you like it?-

-You know, it was kind of crap-

-but how, it's the most heavenly thing that could have happened in 2015, forget Panda Bear or Natalie Prass, what the heck are you listening to?-

-I like Wild Nothing and MacDeMarco-

-listen, you don't understand, this album is the end of your suffering, it's Christ-like, having descended to earth to spread its seed over all of us. This is Space/Rock shamelessly bastardized with Shoegaze and Dream/Pop with a sprinkle of Slowcore. All while maintaining that emocore soul that made them known to the entire world with their first two albums-

-but I never liked My Chemical Romance and Wild Nothing does shoegaze too y'know-

-idiot, you're talking immense and foul nonsense. Wild Nothing is as Shoegaze as Bob Marley is industrial, and anyway, Chemical Romance is emo, but in the balls of a bull. Listen to '90s emo, not the bad paper-mâché copy of the last decade. In Hyperview you fly, you fly high, the guitars are languid, the voice is WOOOW, it slows down, it speeds up, this album is total and who cares about the purists of the first two albums, this is the perfect synthesis, it's what post-hardcore/slowcore and shoegaze should have done in their day, this is the sum.

-you didn't convince me, I still don't like it-
