My Review: Crystal Canyon - Young Wonder

 Crystal Canyon - Young Wonder

All in Portland: there is a spectacular play of Shoegaze clouds, Slow, no, they are speeding up, they do what they want, and it is a stupendous spectacle, consoling, prompting us to give due recognition to this band that does not make us feel nostalgic for the beloved musical genre born in England, but in this very track it seems to remind us of how it was born. And so it all becomes a wonderful story, about a girl, her mystery, her prodigious way of being, and, as Lynda Mandolyn sings about courage, our eyes become dreamy, powerful in a sudden dance that leads us to stand next to that wonderful creature.

The rhythmic guitar is capable of a turn of simple chords that beautifully develop the intention to lull the listener. And then, when everything gets loud, a sudden pact with joy is established.

One can be sure: it is songs like these that kiss loneliness and do so while leaving the greatest satisfaction on your lips...
