Artist: Races Album: Year of the Witch
Reviewed 5/28'12 by Rex
Genre: Indie Rock
The boy/girl harmonies of Ryff and Lee are authentic and dreamy. Combined with the strong, guitar-driven indie-pop sound and catchy verb baselines, RACES consumes an unidentifiable space that melts energetic texture into the backdrop of psych-rock. Tracks such “Lies,” “Song Of Birds” and “The Knife” from this debut LP merge classic style and progressive tones to celebrate the bands ’70s and ’90s influences.
