Feast of Love

Walking the razor's edge between overdriven navel gazing bliss and perfect pop sensibility, Ann Arbor's Pity Sex have crafted a breathtaking debut LP that's both awesomely beautiful and deftly evocative. Massive, harmonically distorted guitars and airy dual male/female vocals are hallmarks of Feast of Love, all washed in warm, dreamy reverb. Most impressive however, is how the band utilizes pop conventions - both vocal and instrumental melody, a strong and pounding rhythm section, while delving deep into the ethereal power of textured soundscapes. The band call on the infectious, hooky inclinations of the Pixies, dreary melodies of the Breeders, and sonic mass of My Bloody Valentine.
