I don't normally post more of a band's material so soon after doing it in the first place, but I figured that since the LoveHappy post was so popular that I would treat you all with more Charlottes. As much as I love their first album, I can be real and say that this is probably more of a treat for most of you; I'll lower myself to your level and cater to your pathetic needs just this once. JUST THIS ONCE.
Things Come Apart is the second and last LP from the Charlottes and is regarded by most to be their best album. While I don't entirely agree, it's still absolutely incredible and I'm probably just wrong and it really is their best. The band's sound on this album is a little less steeped in indie pop and way more into a dreamy sound, making it easier to just pigeonhole them and place them into the shoegaze category. The drumming is still pretty wild in places, making them sound like a way more energetic Lush.
It's hard to select highlights from this when every song is a winner. "Liar" is one of their finest moments and is definitely their "hit." The monolithic "By My Side" is their most hypnotic song and probably my favorite moment on the album. The single "Love In The Emptiness" is one of their darker moments. The band even manages to cover "Venus" and make it not-so-embarrassing. Kind of. Only half the time that I listen to it does my mind wander to one of those unspeakably awkward ads. :shivers:
Anyway, hopefully you guys dig this one as much as LoveHappy, if not more. Enjoy!
