The High Dials – War of the Wakening Phantoms

There’s something to be said for transparency but not when it comes to pop music. I listened to this three times through one morning at work and have only the slightest impression of what it sounds like. Sure it was a busy morning but honestly, it’s not like we’re talking experimental ambient music here. This is 60s derived psyche-pop. I should at least be humming a single. This band has failed the test. (Terence Dick)
