Amusement Parks On Fire - S/T

This is one of those records for me that I won't listen to for a months and months, and then randomly put on and I love it just as much as the first time i heard it. I get sucked in and lost in this album, which is why i think it's great for driving or road trips.
This is their first full length from 2005, and admittedly I have barely listened to their other albums, so I am certainly biased in saying that it is my favorite. I just really like it. This borders on the heavier side of shoegaze which is what I really love. It's more bold than some of the more jangley, poppy shoegaze, which gets old really fast for me (see: the first pains of being pure at heart record) but is still super catchy and ethereal. 
Give it a shot. I bet you'll like it. 
Oh, and Venus In Cancer is a perfect mix tape track. Go ahead and impress someone.
