Album Review: Like Wires - Transmission

StarStarStarHalf Star

"A wide and sweeping selection of aural landscapes."

From a lo-fi approach that sounds like it was recorded in front of a tape deck from 1986 to lush, ethereal mood pieces you can get lost in to the jauntiest guitar pop you ever did hear, Like Wires (a posthumous project from Rumanastone's Ash Hansen) and Transmission deliver a wide and sweeping selection of aural landscapes. And all of that's just in the first three songs. There's so much on offer here — and its big swings in ambition always work. The only downside is so many big swings keep it from feeling like a cohesive album.
