Minor Victories - Scattered Ashes Song For Richard

Review by Kara Braden

Minor Victories' album, Scattered Ashes Song For Richard, is a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the late Richard Swift. The album is a collaboration between members of Slowdive, Mogwai, and Editors, and it showcases their unique musical styles and talents.

The album is a mix of atmospheric, dreamy tracks and more upbeat, guitar-driven songs. The opening track, "360 AM", sets the tone for the album with its ethereal vocals and shimmering guitars. "Breaking My Light" is another standout track, with its driving bassline and soaring chorus.

The album also features some unexpected moments, such as the spoken word poetry on "For You Always" and the electronic beats on "The Thief". These elements add depth and variety to the album, making it a truly engaging listening experience.

Summary by Kara Braden
