Reviews: Normal 0 “We've enjoyed this band's music in the past...but this album seems to be their most fully realized and cohesive. Nine dreamy tracks that glide by like puffy white clouds.” – babysue Normal 0 “Music that is both timeless and without boundaries. Their colours are worthy of being carried, and I for one would volunteer in a trice to help do so. They thoroughly deserve whatever success comes their way.” – Leicester Bangs (UK) Description: It has been 13 years since Should's last album proper, the complex shoegaze/postrock haze of 1998's Feed Like Fishes. While much time has passed, the core elements of Should have not wavered: the ultra-sweet male/female vocal melodies, the penchant for the unexpected, and the ability to find beauty in the minimal. The band's immaculately crafted third album, Like a Fire Without Sound, infuses the pop sensibilities of Eno and Yo La Tengo while maintaining the personal eccentricities and atmospheric flourishes that have always set Should apart. Like a Fire Without Sound was conceived and recorded over a five-year period, and infuses idiosyncratic indie flair with pleasing pop sensibilities. Bookended by Eno-esque tributes "Glasshouse" and "The Great Pretend," the hook-laden record is simultaneously spacious and intimate. The album also includes a cover of "Broken" by the cult-favorite UK outfit Disco Inferno. Eschewing the fashionable trend of burying production in cavernous lo-fi reverb and fuzz, Like a Fire Without Sound is not warmed-over 1990s-era Should. The layers of fuzzed guitar have been peeled back and the pop quotient is dialed up considerably, aiming instead to balance the twin peaks of soundcraft and songcraft. The end result of these efforts is an unpredictable record that — like Eno's early pop albums — endures and is not easily ascribed to a particular era. Timeless yet out-of-place, it's the unwavering soundtrack to daydreams of life's losses and loves. Track Listing: 1. Glasshouse (3.59) 2. Turned Tables (4.54) 3. Slumberland (5.32) 4. Awake At Night (3.53) 5. Just Not Today (3.09) 6. Broken (3.36) 7. Always Returning (5.26) 8. Famous For Her Dress (5.25) 9. The Great Pretend (4.57).
