Drugstore - Drugstore

This, Drugstore's debut, is in a similar vein to Palomine, actually, though it tends more towards clangour and noise (and brevity) than that other. Isobel Monteiro's rasp is in fine form throughout, and the band's knack for a beguiling melody is well in evidence across the album. The music is maybe too low-key, too basement-esque, to get me really excited about it, but still, Drugstore is an unobtrusive treat.
