![]() Comparisons with DC are inevitable with a such a short span between release dates If you are willing to drop the security blanket of DC, the spikes of sonic and literal highs of TYLS will more than repay you. Where as the opening and closer of DC, 'Levitation' and 'Days of Candy' act as euphoric spiritual book ends, compare the gentle exuberance of 'Majorette' to the heavy hearted, almost Lynch like closer, 'Somewhere Tonight'.
