Con Dolore has returned with its second release for Clairecords, Sailor's Warning, which picks up almost where the band's previous album, This Sad Movie, left off. Integrating more samples and programming, Sailor's Warning provides more of an upbeat and reflective pattern than its predecessor and is filled with a more simplistic attitude and not as heavy a beat.
Kristy Moss' voice compliments the instruments of bandmates Ed Ballinger and Wes Snowden with a more light and airy focus. The band's music, still very reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine and Velour 100, creates a very slow melodic path and then progresses into a little edgier pop. With the wonderful performances on this album, Con Dolore has once again filled some formidable shoegazing pop shoes.
