Lucky Styles pushes They Are Gutting a Body of Water further into the murk, a 2022 album where shoegaze turns surreal and nightmarish, now reissued for a wider release.
After Destiny XL, the Philadelphia outfit led by Douglas Dulgarian had become a word-of-mouth favourite in underground guitar circles, and this record sharpened everything that made them distinctive. It first appeared on the small Smoking Room label, and this pressing marks the first time it has been widely available on vinyl.
Sampling instincts and electronic textures sit right alongside the distortion, so the album moves less like a set of songs than a dream that keeps changing channels. "Kmart Amen Break" borrows its name from one of the most sampled drum breaks in history, and "Behind the Waterfall" and the title track "Lucky Styles" sink deep into gloom, while "23 Til Infinity" closes the record with a wink at its own sprawling ambition.
The lo-fi roots still show, but the ambition is unmistakable, and all that gloom has a strangely comforting glow once the volume goes up and the room goes dark.
For fans of the shoegaze resurgence, this is one of its most rewarding dark corners, and a natural next stop after Destiny XL for anyone hooked on the band's heavy, hypnotic sound.
