You’re left feeling the observe linger, licking the injuries it leaves in its wake, however concurrently, Alt-90s followers can most likely throw out their Viagra; Doxa is pure seduction in stereo, proving there’s nonetheless loads of mileage left in shoegazed post-rock when it’s delivered with this stage of intent.
Doxa is now out there on all main streaming platforms, together with Spotify.
