Wishful Thinking, Cut Down to Size

Do mopey teenage girls need another Joy Division/Interpol knockoff? No thanks, She Wants Revenge! But they do need Heavens—an L.A. bluesome twosome that peddles the kind of intricate layering, lush guitars, and brooding vocals that inevitably earn comparisons to the aforementioned doom rock torch-bearers. Thankfully, the duo's recently-released debut album, Patent Pending, has just enough individual edge, depth, and depressing lyrics to distinguish them as their own Masters of Gloom.
