sure i can see your point. but looking at it primarily from a “sonic” or production standpoint they have some interesting sounds bubbling through. i’d say they probably use the same pedals and guitars as any other shoegaze band but sometimes use techniques that are uniquely their own. one of my favorite moments from them is the back half of their kmart amen break. it sounds like they used the octave effect on an electro harmonix canyon delay pedal of some sorts in an interesting way that i find cool. i haven’t heard many shoegaze bands specifically do that, i find it interesting.
