Denmark-based American’s The Great Depression return with a typically lush and well-produced psychedelic-tinged intricate beauty this July. Layered, rich structures support well crafted melodies and a warm and embracing sound. Following Unconscious Pilot (“'album of the year'. 10/10” Atomic Duster) and Preaching to the Fire (“A bold and endearing masterpiece of melancholic sermon” Delusions of Adequacy), the tone is still generally blissful and sombre, though there is a definite injection of melodic pop drama, particularly on the charging title track.
Their chamber-pop and shoegaze influences lend them comparisons to early spiritualized, MBV and radiohead, though pop sensibilities and Todd Casper’s own impressive production talents make their varied approach entirely cohesive.
