FLOOD

Shane Lavers captures the awe and unease of humanity’s impermanence on his debut album of dissociative dream pop.

Leaning into their lyrical strength of expressing life as we know it as a visceral horror story, the sludge-rockers’ fourth album is equally notable for its unexpected instrumental flourishes.

Almost 30 years into their existence, the post-punk revivalists let listeners know that their youthful fire hasn’t dimmed on their fourth, most tightly wound album.
