Blackout on some good s#%@
The cover art doesn't mislead on Charlene's swooning b-side, "blackout". It's a shoegazing wonderland with that tune, as the listener is brought into the haze of drug-addled nights and back to the calm shock of sobriety. Charlene know how to take the noise of lo-fi and integrate it with polished electronics, and this single is no exception. It's best played with a view of the horizon.
