Starflyer 59 - Gold (1995)

I spent the evening in a nostalgic Youtube K-hole with an old friend, watching stuff like this and this and this and this. So, having 90s alt rock on my mind, here's an overlooked piece of grunge-y, shoegaze-y excellence. Gold is a druggy-er, gloomier record than its much loved (on the blogosphere, anyway) predecessor, Silver, and IMO it deserves the same kind of reevaluation that that record has received.

P.S. I seem to remember reading somewhere that this band was Christian, but I hear no evidence of this in their lyrics, and don't feel like Googling it.
