Superbloom : "Life's a Blur"

This band brings back the 90s with their explosive blend of post- hard core and strummed indie show gazing. There are plenty of bands these guys draw from Hum, Failure, the Catherine Wheel and Smashing Pumpkins being the most notable. Their modern-day peers would most likely be Sliversun Pickups. This part is most notable on the song" Falling Up". The vocals occupy a same androgynously sugary space, as the guitars carry the bulk of the heft. This album is also littered with a great of interlude pieces. This album is well produced as they perfectly emulate the sound they are paying tribute to. 

There is a more introspective tone to "Life's a Blur" that allows the vocals to hide behind the electronic sounds bathing the song. 'Daisy" has more guts to the way the song is pushed forward by the more Helmet like punches. It proves to be effective for what these guys are going for, I guess I am less than blown away as there is a great deal of sounds being recycled from the past. 

The album closes with "Tiny Bodygaurd". It is more of a breezy strum, blowing through the brand of dream pop set into motion here. Of the songs presented here it might be the most original in terms of creating a new sound, but it is also the least rocking of the bunch. I that has  will round this down to an 8.5, due to the fact this rides a revival of a shoe-gazing post hard core sound already been reheated once, however there is enough of a fresh spice added to keep it interesting and they are very good at what they are doing, thus setting into motion of them to create the album they intended to make , which is why this scores so high.
