From beginning to end, Shot Forth Self Living is a ride, more than a listening experience. It makes your spine tingle and blood hum with its power. This brash and uncompromising masterpiece is a rebel force among shoegaze classics. Noted as the American take on the genre. As part of Captured Tracks' Shoegaze Archives, everything has been remastered and an expanded version of the album offered on a 2xCD. New life breathes from this sexy and lush piece of work.
