Bethany Curve returns with their unique guitar centric sound that amazingly
emulates the tones and scales of a synthesizer. Although it doesn't sound like
it, every single note on this album was written either on a drum kit or a
guitar. Yet you would never know it from some of the Ambient harmony and deep
drones. This four piece band from Santa Cruz are masterminds of guitar
distortion. Whether they use pedals, delays, or flanges, they perform miracles
with the six stringed demons of rock and alter them to sound like angelic
keyboards. As a result this album is very mellow on the tracks where the drums
are used infrequently. The mood almost borders on a catatonic, thereby
confusing the band with a depressing Gothic act, which they definitely don't
deserve to be compared, no matter how bleak their music can get at times.
