Why not post another album from Flying Nun's remarkable roster? Bailter Space is a shoegaze group from New Zealand that exists somewhere between Catherine Wheel and Sonic Youth. The songs are heavy, dissonant and dreamy; imagine Swervedriver's angular guitars immersed in the sonic landscape of My Bloody Valentine. The practically tuneless wall of sound gives way to vocals that are overall very sweet and unobtrusive, though Bailter Space occasionally channel Chrome in their more robotic moments (see: "Be On Time"). This, their third full-length album, is a well crafted and consistent shoegaze/noise-rock gem that is dreamy enough to float by inconspicuously, yet reveals some adroit songwriting upon closer inspection.
