Agitated
CATATONIC SUNS - s/t LP (colour vinyl)
Limited edition of 400 copies on orange colour vinyl.
Highly recommended.
Absolutely loving the brand new album from young Allentown, PA three-piece Catatonic Suns. Their first for Agitated Records, it comprises eight songs (seven originals, and an Original Sins cover) and is brought to you from the same demented mind as that responsible for introducing you to Laurel Canyon (not Richie! He was merely the conduit...)
Their previous album was an incredible melding of big-sounding US/UK underground sounds, but this album has taken that fire further. The band have developed more of a hi-fidelity psychedelic rock with a shoegazery shimmer akin to the late '80s / early '90s Pacific Northwest sound in cahoots with the UK sound of early '90s Creation / 4AD.
For fans of Screaming Trees, Nirvana, The Verve (early), Slowdive, Ride, Alice In Chains.
Songs that soar, these new recordings verge on the epic.
