In Praise of More

Following their Three Fact Fader album, Engineers went through a lineup split when the original rhythm section stepped aside, replaced in part by bassist Daniel Land and, as part of his work with numerous other acts with shoegaze tendencies, Ulrich Schnauss on keyboards. 2010’s In Praise of More was a strong third full-length, the agreeably flowing haze of the band’s earlier work given a bit more space in the mix while capturing a strong sense of tension and mood on songs like “Subtober.” Even something as simple as the twisty vocal hooks on the chorus of “Press Rewind” are delights.
