Dry Electric Guitar Tones And Great Harmonies Drive A Strong "Throw Back" Indie Album This review is one more case of me reaching back to 2025 for an indie album to discuss. I felt it was important to share with you how significant I believe it is. Phonetics On And On did end up on a lot of 2025 “best of” lists, but not very close to the top of any of them.

As twin lodestars of shoegaze giants Slowdive, they were each other’s muses. As so often goes with young love, it didn't work out, and they wrote one of the greatest breakup albums of all time about each other: Souvlaki.
