Sweeping acoustics and a solemn grandeur make Wolftron's debut a true thing of beauty. The work of Kenny Choi and the latest addition to Wolf- bands has a gripping chamber-pop feel, but also an uncommon elegance that makes Flesh & Fears one of the smoothest releases of 2008.
For a one-man project, Wolftron is able to wrap several layers of instruments into a tight package. Reverbed vocals lead the way for nimble guitars, alt-rock drums, and orchestral effects throughout Flesh & Fears. Combined, they form many graceful moments like the saunter of "Blueberry Waves", the piano-licked steps on "Beautybird", and the haunted opposite "Uglybird". The rest of the album is as comfortable, if not more.
There's no denying the innate charm of Flesh & Fears. It's an aesthetic masterpiece and gives the listener a reason to believe in pop again.
