The prime movers of the FTLPOPE conspiracy. The Sorrows of the Languedoc are the languid, thoughtful page of the heretical tract. Searching for the place...

Hmmm. Very likeable melodies, structure, and vibe. Would be much more fun with a real drummer... or at least with drum machine that didn't sound so obvious and too hot in mix. Guitars are WAYYY too hot in mix... so much that they detract from an extremely cool tune. Lvoe the tune, despise the mix.
This is unconventional (as most everything you share) so my review is too. If one line could cover it - pudding pop drum & bass groove and brain stain the floor guitar work. I mean that in the most affectionate fan of Glenn Branca way. The fuzzy flangey feedback breakdown right back into the outro makes me smile widely and beats my personal pop sensibilities to a pulp with an electrified night stick. If this isn't enough to bring me to another temporary break in double tracked verse chorus verse compositions nothing will. Except maybe a few more listens of Sommersprossen.
The rhythm guitars are a real stand-out with a very interesting tone. I agree with others here this defies genre definition.
