"Hallways begins with a haunting guitar riff accompanied with synthesizers, which set the mood for the utterly depressive vocals. From the start of this song until the very end, it is clear that the members of this band all possess a lot of ability, and they didn’t hold any of it back with this song. At 2 ½ minutes the song builds into a wonderful guitar duet, with one playing a sad tune, while the other twangs and almost weeps in the background, giving off a feeling of great distance along with the synthesizers. A perfect beginning to an excellent musical journey."

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
