When I Think Of You In A Castle
Polyvinyl, 2018
8/10
A Chicago six piece with a couple strong EP releases already under their belt, this first album showcases their psyche-rock and pop hook affinity, with the perfect balance between tuneful and heavy. Often times bringing us back to the early days of grunge, there's sludgy, thundering moments, but the modern pop influence is often present with warm melodies. Though the album leads with soft, dreamy, nature sounds, it doesn't take long until remnants of Black Sabbath, '70s garage rock and experimental variations of classic, prog and indie-rock envelop us in unpredictable and alluring ways. In the area of neo-psyche outfits, these guys are near the top.
