Little over a year ago i got into the band MEDICINE and i never expected that they'd release something new. But guess what? In the same year that My Bloody Valentine finally release their long-awaited successor of Loveless, their american counterparts (as some people always considered them to be) come up with a brand new album called TO THE HAPPY FEW. You could even call it a triumphant return. Really good stuff - the more i listen to it, the better i think it is. It's got that typical Medicine-sound (mechanical noises, shrill guitars) but somewhat more organic, and certainly better produced than their earlier work. It's actually more psychedelic than shoegaze. My favourite song of the album (at this moment at least) is All You Need To Know. It's got a bit of a Flaming Lips vibe.
Oh yeah, one funny detail: the last song, Daylight, ends in an eternal groove. A loop that goes on and on and on. I only noticed it after a minute or so, when i thought that the song's end lasted just a bit too long ;)
Anyway, To The Happy Few is definitely a contestant for my Top 10 list for 2013.
