It's always nice when the format of a release not only fits the music within, but also enhances it. Accelera Deck's newest 7" lathe cut picturedisc is just such a release. This is the first lathe cut record that I've got my hands on, and I can see now why they are regarded as such special items. This particular one is about twice as thick as your standard vinyl record and seems to be cut into a thick chunk of clear plastic which houses a simple colored pattern design on one side and the cryptic Lathelight logo on the other side. Musically, the two songs on this record really did surprise me, as they don't seem to be following any particular trend in indie music or otherwise. Accelera Deck's sound is really a throwback to the textural guitar experimentation of My Bloody Valentine paired with simple sing along vocal harmonies that give the music a driving pop sensibility. The recording quality is great too, sounding like an ancient four track that is bleeding everything together in just the right way. Besides guitar, drums, and vocals, I'm also detecting some bell sounds, and some other sonic treatments in the upper registry that seem to stick out with repeated listenings. Accelera Deck and Lathelight really have done a great job in producing a 7" that is worth hunting down. I'm interested in seeing and hearing more from this label and band. 9/10 -- Charles Franklin (3 April, 2007)
