“Stare Back”
From Wax Idols’ Discipline
SLUMBERLAND
Liner notes: The spooky Oakland quartet unleashes a perfect storm of brooding guitar pop, smothering everything in delicious echo.
Behind the music: Wax Idols’ debut was basically a solo effort by Hether Fortune (a.k.a. Heather Fedewa), who assembled a band for this mesmerizing album. She’s also worked with Hunx and His Punx, Blasted Canyons, and Bare Wires.
