Another decent alterno-rock record that became lost in a sea of scruffy grunge. Larva weren't quite in the same league as say Saigon Kick, Kik Tracee, Liquid Jesus etc, etc, but this lush record sways nicely...if you can get hold of it. It's a tragedy that such records began obscure, and ended up even more obscure. This probably does exist on the shelf of some dusty basement somewhere. However, forgotten it may be in most circles, but for now it deserves a little mention for its Jane's Addiction style haziness, existing as some kind of slightly dreamy, bewildering, out of focus, at times Zep driven, psychedelic rock album. Vocally, very peachy, a sprig of light grunge, and plenty of color...before all fades to grey and the album disintegrates like a dream.
6.5/10
