Bedroom Eyes - What Are You Wrong With (2012)

For Fans Of: The Meeting Places, The Promise Ring, Everyone Everywhere
Genre: Shoegaze, Post-Rock, Emo
Website: facebook / Bandcamp

Description:
Bedroom Eyes are a post-rock/shoegazy type band from New Hampshire (apparently they were named "best new band" by some obscure publication I think called The Phoenix?) that include members from Bravo Fucking Bravo, Pathos, L'antietam, and The River Bottom. As usual they tend to have that stapled Explosions in the Sky sound that makes the genre its own. However, what's sort-of different about this band is the amount distortion and reverb they use on their guitars; giving it an extra crunchy sound that makes their songs interesting. "Weak Beak" is probably my favorite song on this LP; it truly shows the band at their best. As far as the rest of the album goes, it's an easy listen without many other tracks standing out; sort of blending together into one big song. I still recommend downloading this thing if you're a fan of that shoegaze stuff (I really wonder if they named their band after that Dum Dum Girls' song).
