Alone in his bedroom with the curtains tightly drawn, San Diego's William Colin Snavely quietly and obsessively soundtracks the push/pull heartache of suburban decay. Influenced by videogames, Faith No More, and dead-end factory jobs, Snavely blends the instrumental audio abstractions of Aphex Twin with a welcome splash of old-fashioned American melodrama. The result is a robot album that desperately wants to be human.
