"Clausen is the latest release by NJ/PA bedroom pop experimentalist Cough Cool (or Dan Svizeny if you're his mom), supplied by the uber-genius-weirdos at Not Not Fun. Cough Cool drops seven tracks of eclectic lo-fi, slo-mo guitar driven loner haze with his breathy Springsteen-y gravel whisper deep down there in the fog. The vocals are seriously ridiculously low in the mix but that aspect somehow enhances the listen by demanding a more nuanced attention to detail. Cough Cool fuses together warm daydreamy guitar work with looped drum-machine beats and blurry effects floating throughout; invoking schizophrenic results of early Sebadoh stumbling home from the bar only to catch My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive going at it on the couch; patch-worked arrangements of lush yet uneasy vibes. "Clausen" ramps up the darker side of shoegaze malaise and reverbs and effect-pedals the shit out of it, taking the listener on an off-kilter emotional journey of catchy experimentalism, perfect for those long and lonely strolls of Walkmen blues afternoons. Highly Recommended." --Permanent Records
