Gothic Theatre
Drop The Fear
Drop The Fear fuses the sounds of electronic rock with the lushness of
shoegazer, and an atmosphere much like something out of a Tim Burton
flick. Utilizing many sounds much like a symphony would, the work
itself draws many comparisons to artists such as Cocteau Twins, but
with a fresh approach similar in nature to Massive Attack. Sexy, mood
driven, and deep in layers, their sound is hard to categorize, but
somehow comforting and familiar.
Westword Review ::
Drop the Fear, Drop the Fear (Helmetroom Recordings). An infallible
release from one of the area’s most promising new acts, Drop the Fear
is brilliant. From the stellar artwork to the swirling interplay of
Sarah Marcogliese’s Harriet Wheeler-esque vocals and Ryan Policky’s
impassioned drones transcending the frigid austerity created by ambient
squalls, fractured tones and mechanized beats, this is easily the best
album of the year. — Herrera
