I've Filled Up These Pages was written, performed, and recorded by one Keith Vogelsong in various bedrooms and living spaces over the course of

2002...pretty impressive, given how good this album is, both tune-wise and production wise. For a bedroom -recorded pop album, this sounds FANTASTIC.

I've Filled Up These Pages is terrific weepy noise pop, with dense instrumentation, built with layers and layers of nicely off-kilter effects and

synths and guitars and vocals that usher this into the "bent pop" territory we get all spastic about. Not too out-there, though- this is still pretty

accessible stuff, but just rough enough and weird enough around the edges to register on our raucous-radar. There's some nice shoegazer-esque noise at work,

breakbeats and glitches, and weirdly discordant piano and guitar melodic interplay, like TEARS FOR FEARS if they suffered some head injury before going into

the studio. It works, too, and the whole album has this gauzy , otherworldly feel to it. Vogelsong's oft-times androgynous (and quite pretty) vocals lend

additional dreamhaze to the proceedings. Symphonic emo? Orchestral glitchy shoegaze? A mashup of MY BLOODY VALENTINE and THE POSTAL SERVICE and NOTWIST ?

Sort of. Regardless, it�s a killer,and quite catchy indie pop album that demands repeat spins.
