...according to our Brian on 26 November 2009.

Sonic Cathedral present I Was A King as their new post-shogaze style signing. They've a nice hazy, dreamy Rickenbacker drenched sound that recalls a Scandinavian Byrds on 'Norman Bleik', perhaps a paen to the singer of Teenage Fanclub - for sound-wise this is an excellent, more feline, take on prime Fannies. I loved writing that. The flip is a tumbling, jangly cover of ol' Lou's 'She's My Best Friend'. I Hate to say it but I think The Wedding Present did a better job 20 years ago and the drummer is obviously trying to ape Colm MBV's fill-ins but it's a sweet attempt anyway. Don't fuck with perfection kids!!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
