Alright, I’m calling it: Pinned is APTBS’s best album yet, and easily frontrunner for my AOTY thus far.

Same effects-laden noise-rock as ever, but this album is packed full of standout songs. There’s heaps of variation here, but without ever departing radically from their sound (this is a very good thing in my book). The inclusion of Braswell’s vocals every now and again is inspired and has helped breath new life into their sound. “Never Coming Back” is a monster of an opener.

It would be a crime if this album didn’t get some more attention, and so I’m @-ing anyone who’s ever said something about APTBS or who made a number of contributions to the melodic-aggressive shoegaze thread. (Although, now I’m worried my enthusiasm will raise expectations to the point that they’re left disappointed…)

Melodic, Aggressive Shoegaze?

Does anyone have any recommendations for great melodic, aggressive shoegaze albums? It seems like a lot of the bands I try out while digging around online have “the sound”, but the songs kind of just hang around and exist. The band Nothing might be what I’m most thinking of, particularly that ending sequence of “B&E”. [B & E] Also songs like “ACD” by Nothing, “Loon Calls” by Cheatahs, or “Son of Mustang Ford” / “Deep Seat” by Swervedriver.
