Album Review: They Are Gutting a Body of Water, 'LOTTO'
Douglas Dulgarian describes a phenomenon where music sounds overly commercial, likening it to "Disney bread" - a phrase that arises in the song 'trainers' from They Are Gutting a Body of Water's new album LOTTO.
As a pioneering band in modern shoegaze, they could have opted for a more mainstream sound, especially with their first LP on ATO Records in NYC. However, they chose not to compromise their art.
They could shroud everything in glitchy layers of artifice and mutter poetic lyrics that mean nothing for the rest of their careers.
