Notable Quotes

❝ Lost masterpiece of Old School Shoegazing, the work immediately shows surprising maturity in the garage nervousness of She Screamed, served ice-cold by lyrics molded in S&M mud, and in the post-Paisley Underground wavering of Crash, ode to obsession with car crashes as a possible alternative orgasm.
