Albums Shaping The Invisible

Press Reviews     Thee Heavenly Music Association - Shaping The Invisible Full Guide Review   Angelic Disorder Guitar noise is precariously perched atop of an undeniably sleek and sexy song style. Guide Rating -   Manufacturer's Site     Thee Heavenly Music Association - Shaping The Invisible     This debut album from Thee Heavenly Music Association is an amazing effort. Singer and guitarist Hellen Storer's vocals are bold, but somewhat detached. Her voice lies somewhere in between Curve crooner Toni Halliday and PJ Harvey. Guitars on the album are layered good'n'thick and covered in a layer of warm, grimy fuzz. Shaping The Invisible opens with backwards guitars and severely dreamy vocals. The song ("Synesthesia") kicks into full drone when the guitars turn forwards. Storer's chorus of "You're unprotected / It's killing you" will play relentlessly in your head while you try to sleep. "The Absolute Nowhere" is another highlight on the album. It has a polished production that wouldn't sound out of place on a Curve album. Two of the songs ("The Lights Flickered... And Died" and "My Spacesuit Is Ripped, Please Open The Hatch") are quite different in that they are basically a mood pieces. They use delayed, looped drums beneath synth and guitar drones. "Suffer My Angel" has a heavy crunch that borders on Black Sabbath-isms. "Jiji Crycry" is the only song with male vocals. It's a great song that builds as it plays out. Overall, this album has a good amount of energy, not usually found on your typical Shoegazer album. It's about fuzzy, layered guitars and very memorable vocals.  ~ Chad Kempfert ABOUT.COM
