Album Review: Black Dresses - Forever In Your Heart
“Ada Rook and Devi McCallion continue to refine their talents with each new project, yet the intrinsic limitations of their preferred sound remain a constant impediment; for as many compelling themes as this record can boast of, too many are drowned in a miasma of electronic noise that only sometimes complements the band’s appreciable affinity for pathos. Even at its best, Forever In Your Heart asks too much of the listener to truly capture the greatness it is constantly hinting at, but in the entirety of the group’s turbulent existence, said greatness had never seemed more inevitable.”
Half-Year in Review #4: Pink Siifu - NEGRO
“Pink Siifu’s newest offering is a confusing, often illegible mess of a record, the stylistic equivalent of yanking the steering wheel as hard to the left as possible and plummeting your vehicle off the edge of a cliff as l’appel du vide takes over your once-rational mind. It is also, bar none, the most important album you will listen to this year.”
