A Grave With No Name

Rather liking 's album MOUNTAIN DEBRIS, released by No Pain In Pop. It's like a whistlestop tour of the whole glo-fi/hypnagogic zone as it's formed up in the last year or so. Melty shoegaze to full-on fuzzed-out lo-fi grandeur.

"A series of book covers in response to the D and AD H.G. Wells brief. The concept is that the jackets come off to reveal an extract from the book, which acts as a hidden moral/message from the book. A nice little suprise."
