How can you even know what it means? It reads like a Shel Silverstein poem written by a mentally deficient 12-year old.

From today's album review blurbs: Mind Over Mirrors Undying Color BY: ANDY BETA A solo artist gathers some pals for a trippy trip through the droney side of the avant-garde. Good for island meditations and pretending to be weightless. |

This is, by FAR, the best critic's review, let alone Pitchfork review, of all time: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/9464-shine-on/ |

I read this one at the time and found it a bit...flowery. Now...well, it's a bit over the top. |

Sorry trag, but so far it is 2-1 here, and I'm with Jorge. I found the pretending to be weightless part chuckle worthy as I remind myself that I have done that in the past. |

I can write for Pitchfork: The CleanUp Life Without Sleep The CleanUp break out with their sophomore effort that is equal parts horse gallop, midwestern breeze, and cotton field, all set to a charcuterie of boilerplate 70s beats. |

I would buy that record on that description alone. Then again, I have a beard and live in Brooklyn, New York. No one should trust my tastes. |
