I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for wall of sound guitar driven rock. I have been ever since the word Weezer was introduced to me in the mid nineties. There’s something about the way this beautiful cacophony of noise is swept tumbling together that makes the most fuzzed out and blasted chords sound like perfection. And while this album by The Big Sleep, Sleep Forever (iTunes), isn’t quite perfect, there are moments on this album when you realize this might be as close as we mere humans come.

I like this three piece ensemble from Brooklyn more when they’re not featuring Sonya on the vocals, but that’s like comparing orange juice to apple juice. Both juices I love, just orange is a little better for my palate. This is their second effort at an LP and I must say that although they list The Cure, Led Zeppelin, and Nick McCabe as some influences I hear a lot of references to modern artists such as Band of Horses, Built to Spill, or TV on the Radio.
