Distortion. We All Love Distortion.

Well, I do.

And feedback. And fuzziness. Fat sounds. Amplitude.

It's that shoegaze thing I guess. Although shoegaze likes chiming as much as distortion.

Shoegaze sort of reinvented the guitar. Or made it "stop acting up."

Shoegaze was like a set of parents who put their addled child on terrible drugs, which then allowed the child to discover it was a savant at introspection and possibly autistic artistic gestures.

I don't know why I'm talking about shoegaze.

This is Halou, from their 2008 album of the same name.

I dedicate this to Dru. I think they're singing about him.

The vocalist owes just a little bit to Siouxsie.

Love the album cover art.
