Pity Sex - "Feast Of Love"

The shoegaze revival is in full swing at the moment.  One of the leaders of the pack is Ann Arbor's Pity Sex, whose 2013 album "Feast Of Love" is a fantastic modern example of the genre.  Tracks such as "Wind-Up" and "Honey Pot" hit hard with pummeling drums and distorted guitars, while the male/female vocal counterpoints weave subtle layers of melody beneath the fuzz.  Singers Britty Drake and Brennan Greaves create an atmosphere where their voices work perfectly off of one another, each taking turns with lead and back-up vocals.  Fans of 2012's "Dark World" EP will most likely be thrilled at the progression shown on this record, as the songs have become more streamlined and aerodynamic.  With this sort of growth exhibited between the two releases, one can't help but be excited for the next record.
