FLYING SAUCER ATTACK - New Lands (Sealed) (CD)

Flying Saucer Attack was, by this point just one member - Dave Pearce for Rachel Brooks had already left. Nowhere near as fuzzed-out and lo-fi as its four predecessors (Pearce, who'd been wrestling with depression, claimed it marked his 'second phase'), New Lands was still unmistakably Flying Saucer Attack, from pulsing waves of treated and feedback guitar to massive, cresting dynamics to Pearce's hushed vocals. New Lands is also fantastically vertiginous in the best, most My Bloody Valentine-esque sense.
