Title: An Eccentric Treasure Dream
Review: ANLALF are often compared directly to the likes of My Bloody Valentine and Stereolab, but I believe this is selling them short. While these influences are incredibly apparent, they are never taken for granted. On "Turning Into Small" the band blends surreal pop ether with eccentric electronic loops and twitches. The faded, whispy vocals floating inside the warm textures are reminiscent of MBV but are used to different purposes, which are more playful than passionate. This album in compared with their others, offers a more "electronic-heavy" approach, while it doesn't outweigh the atmosphere the band often possesses, it is a little more direct on this offering. With the right ears, this is one album that will not disappoint, instead bringing you back to further and ultimately enjoyable listenings.
