Baby In Vain - See Through (Black Vinyl)

A sonic taxonomy of resistance rock. At times upfront and confrontational, a little dangerous in the detuned dirge of Sonic Youth or sleazy fuzz shimmy of Royal Trux, emphatic and big, the lip sometimes curling into a sneer. Other times internal and contained, crystalline, shy and pretty like shoegaze, leading with fine dynamics, or filled with the faraway choral warmth of dream pop, the gentle unity of girl-group gang vocals, or the tentative joy of garage, where all the possibilities of kids with two guitars and a drum set were born.
