There's a difference between dream pop and shoegazer music.
Instead of going for fuzzy, blocky soundscapes and pretty, spaced-out melodies, Fiel Garvie's mission is to purvey pure pop - the eleven songs on this album don't stray far from the basic formula (dreamy, female-led indie pop), but instead distill it to perfection.
With this album, bliss addicts will be pleased to discover one of last year's best dream pop releases, but the best thing about Leave Me Out Of This is that it marks the North American debut of what promises to a very, very good band.
