If you ever wondered what it would be like if Superdrag sounded more like My Bloody Valentine, you're old like me. Also, you're in luck - two of the members of the Drag (including singer John Davis) have a new act called the Lees of Memory. I've actually had this sitting on my computer for a while, reluctant for some reason to listen to it; a foolish move on my part (I'm good for a few of these every day). Bands that rise from the ashes of your favorites can often be disappointing, but that definitely isn't the case here. And that shouldn't really be a surprise - with Davis' voice, anything they put out is just going to sound like Superdrag, the only difference here is the addition of extra swirly/distorted guitar parts on some of the songs. My favorite track after the first few listens is "Not a Second More," which to be totally frank sounds exactly like a Superdrag song that would have been on their classic record "Regretfully Yours." Not complaining about that at all.
