Thanks to Erik for the up!
Review
Succeeding/Receding
chugs through its mildly forceful indie-rock structures with a
surprising level of appeal; there's the occasional turn to bombast
("Moping,") but this is more of a constructive slant than simply an
attempt to rock out. The album finds its center in ringing but
off-center guitar constructions, with bass humming hookily beneath and a
slightly spacy approach highlighting some of the more melodic tracks.
This makes for a somehow very entertaining release -- a nearly great
record for the indie-rock crowd.
