What the label says:

Not merely a wall of sound that hits you head-on, ‘Hideout’ is more like a sonic galaxy that engulfs you from all angles.
‘Hideout’ is Film School’s second full-length for Beggars Banquet. Written largely in frontman Greg Bertens’ Los Angeles apartment (a few doors down from Glenn Danzig’s haunted-looking house), recorded in both LA and San Francisco studios with engineer Dan Long, mixed by Phil Ek (The Shins, Stephen Malkmus), and produced by Bertens, ‘Hideout’ builds on the band’s pretty, shoegazer pop and richly textured space-rock soundscapes by emphasizing powerful rhythms and beautiful melodies that take the songwriting to a new level. Bertens’ signature vocal delivery shows more breadth on this release, and evokes a plaintive longing that is magnified by the addition of female voices, courtesy of bassist Lorelei Plotcyzk and guest vocalists Tracy Uba (Timonium) and Leah Piehl. Other guest musicians loaning their talents to the album are Colm O’Ciosoig (My Bloody Valentine) and Paul Wilson (Snow Patrol). It’s the combination of ethereal atmosphere and strong rhythm that makes the album wholly compelling and promises a powerful live experience.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
