Starflyer 59's first album was truly a wonderful discovery and I've been a fan ever since. The Silver album had such a simple and brooding, but forward-thinking and calling up influences as wide ranging as My Bloody Valentine and Black Sabbath.
"Blue Collar Love" delivers a biting progression saturated in distortion and tremolo and is punctuated by the thin, almost airy, vocals. It's heavy, but accessible, gloomy yet invigorating.
