And now for this week's song:
Flying Saucer Attack -- "Up In Her Eyes"
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists off one of my favorite albums (1997's New Lands). Intense noise and extreme feedback, but instead of it being disorienting and abrasive, it's atmospheric, evocative, and almost transcendent. There's enough variation in the loud drones to keep things interesting, the melody is lovely, the drum beat really draws you in, and the echoing vocals just complete the song well (even though I don't know what he's saying, lol). It's a shame the guy who ran this project all but disappeared after 2000; he reappeared briefly to collaborate with a singer-songwriter from Ohio (he's from the UK, so they traded recordings online), and called that project Clear Horizons, but he's since pulled a J.D. Salinger/Thomas Pynchon/Jeff Mangum/Mark Hollis and no one has really heard from him.
