Album Review: They Are Gutting a Body of Water, 'LOTTO'
They Are Gutting a Body of Water's new album LOTTO is a standout in modern shoegaze.
Douglas Dulgarian describes certain foods as "Disney bread" - a phrase that also applies to music that sounds commercial, even when it's free.
The band could have capitalized on a watered-down version of their sound, but instead, they pioneer a new path.
- First LP for a bigger label, ATO Records in NYC
- Resist the trend of using glitchy layers of artifice and meaningless poetic lyrics
Author's summary: They Are Gutting a Body of Water pioneers modern shoegaze.
