Terrascope on Cold Nice Gold

Nice review on the new Bright Shuttle record:
—————————–
“With some wonderful tones and textures, the music of Bright Shuttle, is drifting,haunting and occasionally rocks out, at which point the band sound like Crazy Horse, without Neil Young singing. Genrally, moving between these points on their album ”Cold Nice Gold”, the nine songs flow together with a cohesive vision, the albu m weaving its magic with flecks of Galaxie 500, Dinosaur Jr, and A quieter Mono, glinting in the sonic sunlight. With the opening track ”Mountain City” leading you in softly, the album grows slowly until side one ends in noisier fashion, as ”Smatterings” shows the musicians control and power, free flowing yet perfectly judged. A similar feel is present as side two plays, the music washing over you until the final track ”Caves”, the music becoming even more distant and delicate, the perfect closer in fact.” - Rumbles, January 2010
