With everything from punk-funk to Madchester "baggy" coming back into vogue in the first few years of the 2000s, it was only a matter of time till the shoegazing revival took hold. A few bands had dabbled with the sound earlier (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Longwave, Folksongs For the Afterlife), but the British quartet Engineers approaches the style wholeheartedly and with a surplus of panache. On their self-titled, hotly tipped debut album, waves of undulating guitars waft through the air, underpinned by dewy, melodic keyboard washes, and fore fronted by ethereal voices that seem to espouse drifting away from a careworn Earth towards some loftier plane. The fact that ENGINEERS still sounds fully contemporary, with up-to-date production values that owe as much to ambient electronica as they do to any of the more familiar shoegazer touchstones, is a major point in the group's favor.
