I never read other reviews before I write mine. Primarily because I tend to find myself delving into the realms of subconscious plagiarism, especially if the review read was from someone I consider a better writer than me (i.e. all of them !).
However, I do read the self-penned band bio’s on Spotify (I can hear the “boo-hiss” from all the bands / fans who hate them, but naturally still use them) and Bandcamp (now mostly owned by Spotify anyway!) and really cannot resist the erudite and infallible nature of this one:
“No Museums: A homemade hybrid of creaking pop and basement rock, using an array of textural devices and hummednoise.
Echo boxes, delay pedals, soft distortion dynamics and guitars with buzzing strings. There is drift and there is direction.”
