Our Take

In their latest offering, "Always Returning," British shoegaze veterans ENGINEERS continue to prove that they are the masters of creating dreamy, ethereal soundscapes that transport listeners to another dimension. This album is like diving into a pool of sparkly, shimmering synths and swirling guitars, with each track taking you on a sonic journey through the cosmos.

The opening track, "Bless the Painter," sets the tone for the album with its lush, atmospheric melodies and hypnotic vocals. It's the perfect introduction to the world of ENGINEERS, drawing you in with its layers of instrumentation and mesmerizing production. From there, tracks like "Fight or Flight" and "Searched For Answers" showcase the band's ability to blend electronic and organic elements seamlessly, creating a truly immersive listening experience.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "A Million Voices," which features hauntingly beautiful vocals and a hauntingly catchy chorus that will stick in your head for days. It's a prime example of the band's talent for crafting memorable melodies that leave a lasting impression.

Overall, "Always Returning" is a triumph for ENGINEERS, proving once again why they are one of the most influential bands in the shoegaze genre. It's an album that demands to be listened to with headphones on, allowing you to get lost in its mesmerizing world of sound. So sit back, relax, and let ENGINEERS take you on a sonic journey that you won't soon forget. Trust us, you'll be glad you did.
