What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Brett feeling happy.

Cool fuzzy, droney stuff here from The Doom Riot. Maybe from the name you might expect a dodgy Sunn O))) knockoff but that's really not the case at all, it's nothing like as dark as it might first appear with much of it actually being quite uplifting. Most of Slow Estate Dreams is undoubtedly noisy though, a lot of it sounds quite like Stars of the Lid being played through broken speakers, or maybe My Bloody Valentine playing one chord for minutes on end. It's quite lovely listening to the variations in the same sound over time, it almost makes it seem as if you can hear it changing as it fills out the room, poking its way into all the little nooks and crannies. The first twenty come with a bonus 3" CD for just that little bit more goodness.

What the label says:

"Slow Estate Dreams" is by the ever prolific Claus Haxholm under his "The Doom Riot" guise. Always working on new releases, here Claus presents us with what is probably his best piece of work yet. From deep dense drones to harsh in the red noise to shimmering ambiance and beyond, with track titles such as "Driving Home at Night" and "Silence in the Heart" fitting with perfection to the soundscapes and noises that they present to us, Claus has made an album which captures those small but intense life moments of euphoria. "Blue Light Cold as Regret" is a wonderfully layered and textured piece that really does reflect upon regret in such an otherworldy manner; recalling the shoegaze sound and pushing it's limits in a hazey, wousy and reflective wall of noise. But noise isn't really the right word to use at all. One for fans of Belong, Glass Organ and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, this has to be heard to be understood.

Tracklist:
1. First Steps Back to C##
2. Driving Home at Night
3. Closer But Still Lost
4. Blue Light Cold as Regret
5. Silence in the Heart
6. The Greatest Sacrifice
7. Autumn Sunshine
8. Colliding Stars
