Description
“Self Portrait” is the latest album from Loma Prieta. A ten song masterwork recorded by engineer Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden Recording Studio (Deafheaven). Opener “Love” layers unorthodox melodies amid a tangle of pensive, despondent vocals. These humanly complex qualities loudly bleed into every aspect of the album. Driven by feedback drenched guitar work “Black Square”, “Roadside Cross”, “Net Gain”, and “More Perfect” all effortlessly veer from one post everything sub-genre to the next. Leading to the beautifully skewed “Nostalgia”, a song that creeps from the haze with dark harmonic leanings. “Never Remember”, “Merciless”, and “Rings” venture down a similar crash and bang path before closer “Satellite” takes flight. An emotional epic that delves deep into introspection before finding total sonic obliteration.
