I am most definitely not biased because Rachel Goswell of the incredible Slowdive (new album coming in 2017, I should add) is the lead singer on this, her new project with members of Mogwai and Editors. But wow are her vocals better than ever. Sweet and wispy, yet stronger and more assured than any other prior recording I can remember - the perfect match for this brilliant debut album. It's one of those rare stunners where on first listen you definitely dig it, but perhaps it's more of an artistic achievement than an album you want to listen to often. But I kept listening and it just gets grander and more beautiful on each spin. It's modern, contemporary, forward-thinking and cinematic at every turn, and it's even more incredible this album was written and recorded before any of the band members were ever in the same room at the same time together. Before this record, I thought "well, this will hold me over until the new Slowdive record comes out." Now I'm starting to think "well, the new Slowdive record will hold me over until the new Minor Victories record is out."
