Hard Light (CD)
Drop Nineteens
Amoeba Review
Every once in a while, an album comes along that's such a surprising delight it goes into heavy rotation from the very first spin. That's Hard Light from Drop Nineteens. The Boston-based noise-pop/shoegaze band originally operated in the early '90s, eventually becoming something of a rediscovered cult sensation during the streaming era. Now, they're back together and writing new material that also deserves instant cult status. You'll find haunting, wistful, and catchy-as-all-get-out tracks here, with the otherworldly vocals of Paula Kelley alternating with those of fellow guitarist/vocalist Greg Ackell for a listening experience that'll keep you on your toes in the best way possible. An album to get lost in. Highly recommended.
