Sigh | Clidesfeld
http://clidesfeld.com/album/sigh
A headfirst charge of slightly raspy tones musing in irony, scoffing almost romantically, and preaching defiantly. Like a less optimistic Placebo or a less pessimistic Smashing Pumpkins. Songs recorded on the wane of winter, during the rise and fall of intimacy, and polished over the onset of the warmest fall feelings of fuzz. It was a collection of tired outbursts, relieved silent victories, disorganized frustrations, and facepalmed worries. An accumulation of sighs. Forceful, expressive rock.
