I'll Be Okay vinyl

Heart-tuggingly serene, sometimes morbid slowcore here from Liam McCay aka. Sign Crushes Motorist, a longstanding, multi-alias-sporting figure on the international indie rock scene. Sonic "mutedness" is the name of the game here, with McCay continuing to flesh out his dog-days dreamworlds of low-passed guitars, subtle harmonies, and gossamer (almost barely sung) vocal parts. An almost unbearably bedroom-bound sadness wafts from this album, as we're almost left to drown in the slide-guitarred lilts and pines of 'i just want to hold her' and the equally limerent emo progressions of 'theres this girl'. Then there's the increasingly morbid ambient interludes, such as 'i threw a rock off an overpass and killed a guy' - the album's crunching climax of telephone-effected yawps against rumblingly held chords - and 'loser monologue' - the mid-record we didn't know we'd resonate with. Notwithstanding its sad beauty, we sure do hope the album's title speaks for itself.
