Nerve Salad
Stop right there, plebeian. Don't applaud yourself for liking this album. as you're required to like this. Crusty, dreamy, sludgy, headache-inducing, feedback-drenched noise rock. Fantastic line-up of session players only solidifies this as a requirement. Don't even think about it. This is as stonery/sludgy/psychy as it's going to get. Makes bad things smell good.
Favorite track: Without.
Dumb Numbers is Australian songwriter Adam Harding, with Lou Barlow (Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr, Folk Implosion), Dale Crover (Melvins), Murph (Dinosaur Jr), Bobb Bruno (Best Coast) and others.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
