TJ Slept on the Spectrals 7" (but You Shouldn't)


Around this time last year, the Leeds, England solo project known as Spectrals released a self-titled 7" on Captured Tracks. I recently got my mitts on it and yeah, it's great. Tapping into the then hyper-explosive genre of lo-fi indie rock, both "Leave Me Be" and "Suit Yourself" sound familiar, but those creeping 50s rock/doo-wop influences add depth to the pedestrian cuts. Plus, it's impressive that the musician effectively recreated Spector's wall of sound in his bedroom.

EDIT:// Sprectrals also released another single and contributed tracks to a split 7" this year, both of which I'll be getting ASAP.
