A shoegaze classic every bit as fuzz-finessed as the more exulted Psychocandy (not to mention genre mainstays like Galexie 500’s On Fire), Darklands trades in the skronk of earlier The Jesus and Mary Chain albums for a warmer goth sludge. The band’s spacey sounds are counter-balanced by a wry, Lou Reedd-ish brand of detached cool that makes lines like “I’d shed my skin for you” as sweet as they are scary.
