my bloody valentine is overrated.  i said it.  haters can hate what i said just now.  i just... think... mbv... they never really did it for me.  fortunately, in music especially, ideas beget ideas.  as far as shoegaze music goes, skip skip ben ben has it figured out.  they've got all the boxes ticked on this record.  huge cavernous full band sound that just begs to be turned way up, but also sounds great played at low volumes while you're trying to quietly wash last night's dishes and not wake up members of the household who may still be asleep.  the vocals are plaintive, the melodies are melancholic, the rhythms are locked into a lazy lumbering lurch.  perfect depressive music to help you feel less depressed.  

this band has three full length records to its name.  i visited some dark corners of the chinese internet to download all three of this band's records.  the first one is low-fi bedroom pop.  the third one is some kind of carnival inspired experimental pop.  those two did not really grab me.  but this one, their sophmore effort, their shoegaze record, is great through and through from beginning to end.  i say all of this in order to make the point that some bands spend their entire careers perfecting one particular sound.  i love this band even more given the fact that they can just try on a particular genre as though they're donning a costume, and still they play it better than most bands who make album upon album upon album of this music.  serious creative prowess on display here.  did i mention they're from china?  must be something in the air pollution over there.
