  Unconscious Pilot
Artist: The Great Depression 
Label: Princess Records 
Length: 10 tracks / 39:38

Some albums don’t require your undivided attention for appreciation. In fact, there are a handful of albums out there that are best ingested while distracted. The Great Depression’s Unconscious Pilot is such an album.

This Minnesota/Wisconsin-based band captures the best of the mesmerizing melancholy commonly associated with long, bleak Midwestern winters. With glimpses of pop-induced hope (“The Sargasso Sea,” “Advents”) amid sadly soothing shoegazing anthems (“The Baltic Sea,” “The City by Ultralight”), The Great Depression proves that, odd as it may sound, depression can, at times, be comforting.

RIYL: My Bloody Valentine, Blur, Snow Patrol, Ester Drang.
