Blind and Bloodshot by Debrider


1. Quarters 
2. Never Leave Me
3. The Wait
4. Insomnia (interlude)
5. Love Song

           It's no doubt that this EP by Debrider will be cherished on a wide scale and across generations.  The crystal clear vocals and beautiful mastering by Jack Hubbell make this album an unforgettable experience.  The soothing vocals are a breath-taking wonder to behold and only get better as the songs progress.  Focusing on the passage of time, the ambience brings peace to impatient minds and changes the vibrations to a more grounded pace and flow.  Everything dissolves away and you can hear the pure quality that Debrider successfully displays in all five tracks on this EP.  There is a theme of intense relaxation and curious mystery, the commentary verifies in 'Insomnia' (interlude) which is a classic teaser leaving you wanting more.        

         The overall atmosphere of this album of that of a beautiful dream.  Thanks to the artist Lia Pisa-Relli we are blessed to be welcomed into a sonic serenity and a comforting yet haunting zone of pure bliss.  Making delicate sense of dramatic topics the nightmare becomes embraceable and manages to almost draw tears to the tender-hearted.  One can almost hear a resemblance to some of Camera Obscura's best moments, mixed with Neko Case in the most unique way.  This is a very musically masterful work bordering on a gentle line between dream pop and pure americana.
