4. Savage Sister - Huge Moves: "Huge Moves" is not technically an LP as it is a 7" record, but its fullness and scope is stunning and searing for what it achieves in a fleeting frame of time. Its eponymous lead song is like the hulking, fearless, flawless face of Yosemite's El Capitan being sheered away with a Queen Ann butter knife attached to a phalanx of glowing car batteries. Chloe Lundgren's voice is unsurpassed and has grown into, frankly, the most critical, exciting siren currently amplified in the arena; not only does it command and demand attention, even in the face of Michael Tenzer's striking, seething , synthesizer effrontery, but it blazes a palpable despondency which unequivocally incinerates all the remaining pieces of your already-broken heart. Dream Pop from a dream.
