***Seattle's NOSTALGIST descend into a realm of dark sonics on their debut release, meshing the cold solitude of '80s post-punk like Sisters of Mercy with the warm, shoegazing heft of Slowdive. Shimmering melody haunts the slow, reflective trudge of "Illusory," while "Twisting, Slowly (Cleansing Doubt)" sticks a lush, dreamy respite in the middle of an otherwise propulsive charge. Ten minutes of enveloping melancholy.
