On their October-released EP End of Days, Nebraska's shoegaze punks See Through Dresses sound like they're burying family photo albums in sludgy mud in the backyard—it's sad, angry nostalgia that explores the painful catharsis of sobering up from your youth. Sara Bertuldo's vocals and brutally emotive lyrics call to mind Colleen Green's powerfully subdued bedroom punk and the euphoric grunge of All Dogs' Maryn Jones. "I don't have a coupon/I don't save enough for me to get out of here," Bertuldo sings amid a clangor of sour guitars on the EP's opener, "Haircut," while on "Little Apple Rot" she warns a lover, "Oh, careful see, we're not in love/I keep you to stay warm," before the song implodes in angsty chaos.
