Lamb needed to cover this album, for reasons which have only recently become obvious

but yes mmm, lamb *redacted*, moussaka, tzatziki, feta (red peppers stuffed omg), olives, stuffed vine leaves (is this greek?), all yummy

I have Italian heritage, but my step great-grandfather was a Greek Cypriot and it was passed down to my Nan / we had lots of nice Med food when I was younger

hungry now, damn!

Album is quite good. It's like Loveless, which is also good, but this is more shoegaze. You should buy this album, because it is quite good, just like Loveless.

Imagine the greatest hit you ever took. Now imagine that hit was transposed into a musical puff of the cheeb.

Iron Giant's review is waaaaaaaay better btw (after a quick skim) if you fancy a changing of the guard, although this one has 164 pages of comments attached so idk how these things are gauged / decided

This could really do with an up-to-date Staff / contrib review I suppose

Both reviews are great, they present different perspectives. According to wiki, the record’s title is based on a quote: “ My wife loves that Greek shit... She'll suck your cock like souvlaki." Such music in this context…. hilarious!

On another note: Is their cover of Some Velvet Morning better than that by Primal Scream?

"If you've listened to Loveless a lot and want more shoegaze, this is a pretty good album to get."

Incredible.

The easiest way to explain the difference is that Loveless is shoegaze with noise pop as the primary foundation while Souvlaki is shoegaze with a dream pop and slowcore foundation.

The biggest and most important difference between Souvlaki and Loveless is that Souvlaki is a masterpiece and Loveless is not.
