Description
It's hard not to be pulled under by the narcotic waves of ambient rockers, Skyway View. On their new album, The Victoria Trap, the San Jose band weaves together an undulating fabric of droning, Interpol down strokes; throbbing '90s shoegaze; acoustic and synthetic goth ripples; and the occasional Latin flourish. Whatever eras these hopeless (nu)romantics are jacking, a deliciously dolorous yearning is never far away. There's hooks aplenty with Life Size Models' jangly-strummy goodness, exploring the personal ("Bedroom Eyes") and the pedestrian ("Bayshore Freeway") on their catchy new 5-song EP Burden Of Youth. Also playing: Stock Foto, Kizmet and Lucas Gordon. (AL)
