Second Stage: The Legends

by Robin Hilton

Download "Always the Same" by The Legends

A group from Stockholm, Sweden, The Legends' members have put together a fantastically crunchy, introspective rock album called Over and Over. Though there are quieter, gently strummed moments on the record, much of the guitar work on Over and Over recalls My Bloody Valentine or The Jesus and Mary Chain, with dreamy waves of screeching feedback, which is why I fell in love with it immediately. The Legends' members mix these beautifully dissonant sounds with a surprising mix of '60s girl-group harmonies and Krautrock with great results. This song from Over and Over is called "Always the Same."
