brantly Low end-whiteout, shoegaze with some wonderful washes of seasick guitar static and woozy vocal incursions into HUGE rumbling guitar squalls that could just as easily be attributed to Smashing Pumpkins as they can be to bands like Ride or more appropriately, old Hum, who they sound similar to in many ways. Catharsis and emotional veracity mark this LP. Need to get this on vinyl,

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Dreamy, heavy shoegaze with dramatic post-rock swells and nuanced noisy outbursts. Ethereal vocals compliment the icy clean guitar lines in a series of swirling waves before the storm of dark hooks and trembling discord. Their thick, grungy underbelly is fueled by an arsenal of effects pedals, with a strong melodic core beneath it all. LACING’s second album Without is their most compelling effort to date, a dynamic display of fuzz and beauty, stitched together with several hallucinatory interludes.

Swirl 04:32
Broken heart Lost it all I’ll take the fault I’ll take the fall Laughing again To numb the pain I thought we’d never see the spring Crumbling rotten inside Made a mess of all our lives Woke alone To a window Maybe tomorrow will be Alright Memories that slowly fade Are all that’s left of those days
3.
92 03:37
It’s over A part of life put away Upon a high shelf As if it died And rotting tree forts Still crystal in our minds And all the times Riding bikes after dark And never going home The street lights Flicker in the background As your tail lights disappear into the dawn Crowded back seats The pavement disappears Beneath the car Ugly words were A glimpse of our future From afar And all the times Riding bikes after dark And never going home Useless now Chewed up and spit out Like old bubblegum And all the times Riding bikes after dark And never going home The street lights Still flicker in the background The sky is the same as it ever was
4.
Bruise 04:55
The bruises heal The hurt concealed You gave all that you had To something that won’t love you back Nothing lasts forever Everything dies Try to hold it together Wilting Falling apart You bend and break The give and take You focus on the past Which you can’t change anyway

Dusk 00:51
6.
Violet 08:15
Long shadows in the afternoon Fall across the yard Cast by trees that lonely grew Hiding nothing new Upon the violet Shooting stars We hang a wish To be stronger than we are Over fence and through field With stick swords and wooden shields Vines blanket places hid Until we needed them
7.
Prague 04:13
I don’t wanna wait for I don’t wanna wait for The right time I don’t wanna wait for I don’t wanna wait for Something worse One day the sun will shine Radiant I just don’t know when I don’t wanna wait for I don’t wanna wait for It to end
8.
Glacial 04:21
How can I forget what you said When it keeps repeating It’s all in my head Like a tape That keeps rewinding Over and over again It’s unsurprising But disappointing All in the haze of a dream Wanting to feel something More than Bored and shallow
9.
Centipede 00:59
10.
Regret 03:25
Don’t want to say goodbye So long Lower than a pine box In the ground You were always Bound to find a way out Don’t want to mince Words Pretending we were better People than we are Long after both of us are gone Crushed by the weight of the sun Bent until broken
11.
Flower 05:44
As long as the flowers grow As long as we till in the soil As long as the stars fill the sky As long as the moon pulls the tide We’ll line the graves
