Shreveport, LA five-piece Engine truly know their way around a shimmering pop hook. The fuzzy, amplified drone and moaning guitars that open "Lands of Sleep" vaguely recall the Flaming Lips in their mid-nineties period. It is fueled with a subtle swagger that is just begging for release. And then it does in a big, big way – the song’s finale breaks into an athemic refrain that emphasizes its spindly guitar lines and histrionic harmonies. The video comes off the album of the same name, which was self-released through bandcamp late last year.
