Thought Forms - ‘Thought Forms’

Rating: 7

With the seal of approval from Portishead’s Geoff Barrow, who liked the band so much he signed them to his Invada imprint, Thought Forms are in an enviable position for such a young band. Neatly structured so that starry-eyed ambience bookends the album and provides a mid-act breather, the nine tracks drift dreamily through a series of increasingly wayward movements. These range from the uplifting Ostinato-worthy beauty of ‘Industry’ to ‘David, 18’ whose reverberating guitars evoke satellite frequencies searching for life and finding it in fuzzy, distant screams. Space-age shoegazers need look no further for their next trip.
