Vailhalen – Pop Violence

Flashback to the 1980s, Le Chateau dressed me in my dreams, drummers were doing their best to become drum machines and singers were doing their best to express alienation through lack of affect. We danced because we wanted to and we left some of our friends behind. Combine those regretful memories with the triumphant swells of Mercury Rev and you’ve got Vailhalen. (Terence Dick)
