Ultra Material's sound is timeless. Elements of dream pop, shoegaze and American indie rock all converge into something ineffably powerful, lovely and mysterious. Nowhere is this more obvious than the lead single Rhodamine, a song with a catchy immediacy more associated with pop music than shoegaze. While the reverb-obscured lyrics may be difficult to sing along to, the prettily drawn out 'ah-ah's of the chorus ring true with a kind of restrained cry for help, the music's building intensity drawing a picture of walls closing in.
