The Astroids turn the tables and jumpstart the album with “Wicked Wire,” a hard driving number with an irresistible backbeat, and then slide into the soaring trippy numbers, filled with washes of colour, spacious sound, superb reverb, echo, slow-drive jangling guitars, processed vocals, and delicate melodic touches that lightly reach out to caress the sides of your face ... just to make sure that you’re still conscious, and ever so slightly aware.
