Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
For this, their self-titled debut, the Wigan four-piece Engineers have constructed an album that's majestic and epic, one which manages to be grandiose, but with no delusions of grandeur. Rather than the short, sharp shocks employed by many of their contemporaries, Engineers are content to let a song build slowly, adding layers of sound while keeping their slow, dreamy pace. It's a beautiful and symphonic album, owing a debt to their two self-confessed influences: Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden and Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue. Meanwhile, songs like "Home" and "Forgiveness" slot comfortably alongside the likes of the Doves, Elbow or Spiritualised. Occasionally, as on "Thrasher" or "One in Seven", they even sneak in a bit of My Bloody Valentine shoe-gazing, using fuzzed-up electric guitars instead of the strings and keyboards that threaten to engulf the entire album. And if this album has one flaw, that's it: it's relentlessly laid-back and blissed-out pace means that the songs too often blend into one another, or fade into the background altogether. But at least they only ever sound like themselves. --Robert Burrow
CD Description
Debut album from unique, London-based Mancunian band who forge epic, symphonic, psychedelic soundscapes inspired by Brian Eno, Cocteau Twins, Todd Rundgren and Spiritualized. Favourable comparisons have been made in the press to the early 90s shoegazing scene, 70s prog rock and The Beta Band. Includes the singles 'Home', 'Forgiveness' and 'Come In Out Of The Rain'.
