Album DescriptionCall it stargaze, not shoegaze, `cause the epic-rock power of Amusement Parks on Fire blasts the beauty straight up into the cosmos. Colossal walls of massed guitars, voices and strings give Amusement Parks' towering sonics a soaring urgency that burns through a gorgeous lyricism, packing a visceral wham not unlike the feral punk that inspired the band back in the day. Formed in 2004 by guitarist-singer Michael Feerick in Nottingham, UK, Amusement Parks was originally not a band at all, with Feerick writing the material and playing the instruments for the eponymous debut album. At first, I wasn't sure what I was doing, he says with a laugh. I was doing Amusement Parks like `Aw, this is just some music I'm making, and then when it got to making the album, it was like I wasn't fazed by trying to make it successful or anything.
