Eccsame the Photon Band is a 1994 album by the American indie rock band, Lilys, released on the spinART label.[2] The album saw the band move towards dream pop.[3] The album was recorded at Mike Deming's Studio 45 in Hartford, Connecticut,[4] largely as duo of Kurt Heasley and Harold Evans (of Poole).[5]
Critical reception
The album was described as "one of the Lilys' best" by Jason Ankeny, writing for Allmusic.[3] It was described as "a hallucinatory revelation" by Marc Hogan of Pitchfork Media.[7] Comparing it with the band's previous album, Douglas Wolk, writing for Trouser Press, called it "a much crazier record, and a much quieter one".[5] Andrew Unterberger of Stylus Magazine stated that the album was "not influenced by shoegazing as a genre, but rather as a principle,", calling it "a masterpiece of mood, atmosphere and production."[8] Andrea Moed of CMJ New Music Monthly stated that on the album Heasley "sounds like David Gilmour's slightly less evil twin, numb but not quite comfortable".[6]
