Intimate, keyboard driven tracks like ‘cop graveyard’ and ‘grim reaper’ sit beside more energetic full-band outings like ‘dead bird skeleton and ‘give me back to the sky’, the latter even adding an evocative viola, piano and choral arrangement to it’s chaotic center. It’s to the band’s credit that their more outré moments feel necessary, not distracting. What becomes clear upon listening to ‘my own hell’ is that beneath the dreamy haze & noisy apathy of teen suicide’s recordings exist ernest, extremely well-written pop songs that reflect and express the uncertainty and desperation of reality.
