Please, if you're into the Shoegaze-Space Rock thing like I am, go get this one. These long reefs are guaranteed to send your mind into a journey between stars, of which you land only after 50 minutes of pure joy.

Ok, if you're into short, fast songs, then forget about Suntan. You will not find that style here. However, what you will get if you invest time into this Boston-based four-piece's debut record 'Send You Home' is cerebral avant-garde indie rock that culminates in long, complex compositions (the most lengthy offering is the finale, which clocks in at just under thirteen minutes). And the album may only consist of seven songs, but it still manages to last an admirable fifty-plus minutes, full of arty, experimental music. The record is characterized by Nick Holdzkom's vocals enmeshed in a dense, dynamic, layered wall of sound. Holdzkom's and Scott Endres' dual guitar work is inventive, as they each do their own thing while Dominic Mariano's drums and Lindsay Arth's omnipresent bontempi organ hold all the composite pieces together. The dreamy first song, "Rising For You," is a seven and a half minute track that sees Holdzkom's vocals cut out at about the four-minute mark and for the remaining time, we're treated to a jam session of guitar overload until they fade out and we experience more drums and organ. On the following track, the placid "The Next Ones," many different things occur all at once. It maintains its calm quality partly due to the soothing vocals, but at a lengthy 9:44, it's a little too long and repetitive. Likewise, "Every Night" is very slow and soft, and quite frankly, rather boring even though it gets a little heavier as the song progresses. In contrast, "I Can Only Give You Everything" - which is a relatively short 4:31 - is the best offering on the entire album, as it's more uptempo than the aforementioned tracks with cannon-like drumming and a riotous guitar breakdown, making for just an extremely vibrant and lively song. This song is followed by a light instrumental piece that flows nicely into the dreamy, psychedelic-tinged number, "King Felix." On this track, the tempo speeds up mid-song and the organ is pretty low-key until it's featured more prominently later on, after which the song reverts to the slower tempo as seen during the first three minutes as the vocals are reintroduced. The last song, "Send You Home," is a rather emotional and powerful (and long) closer.
