Editor's review
Shoegazers unite! The wombadelic sounds of 1992 have been captured alive by Denver moodsters Drop the Fear. Not content to rely on blasts of high-volume guitar, these sonic alchemists invoke the sultry vocals of Curve and the trip-hoppy moments of Chapterhouse.
Biography
"Drop the Fear is brilliant. From the stellar artwork to the swirling interplay of Sarah Marcogliese's Harriet Wheeler-esque vocals and Ryan Policky's impassioned drones transcending the frigid austerity created by ambient squalls, fractured tones and mechanized beats, this is easily the best album of the year."
Dave Herrera, Westword
"Shoegazers tie their laces together to differentiate them from electrical chords and move it to the next level of the game. A timely set in that the genre needed a kick in the pants and this feels like it."
Chris Spector, Midwest Record Recap
"This is one of the greatest debut LPs ever made."
Vishwanath Iyer, The Daily Vault
"a progressive CD worth repeated listens. #2 album for 2004"
Elana Ashanti Jefferson, The Denver Post
"More than just the album's wallpaper, the DVD is an arresting experience all by itself."
"Best Music DVD 2004", Westword
