Precious Little Life - Millenium

The first full length from Philly project Precious Little Life, Millennium delivers on all fronts. Starting off with a preview of a twinkly acoustic riff later fully realised in Gospel, this album is chock-full of fantastic guitar work coupled with a gut-wrenching delivery of the already emotional lyrics. Kevin Nenkov’s fantastically poetic words ensure the choruses flow with ease, yet the background screams embedded within many of the songs ensure that the album invokes a deep emotional response – it’s hard not to feel chills listening to many of the haunting soundscapes that Kevin never fails to develop. The lyrics, touching on themes of gender identity, disillusion with religion, and loss of family add to the dread of the album and build an image of sorrow unmatched in many pieces of media.
