ALTERNATIVE ROCK
A cool “concept album” that, along with a website providing the illustrations, presents a series of “audio-visual short stories” created by Irish bassist Conor McCreanor. Good vocals by Ciaran Gribbin of INXS are accompanied by minimal acoustic guitar, a prominent bass, some keys, drums, and a bit of electronics.
No FCC issues
1 * Mid-fast, upbeat & bouncy. Falsetto singing, tons of jazzy bass & drums, and a bit of spacy electronics produce an overall dreamy effect. (4:06)
2 Slow, very gentle. Like a good U2 ballad. RIYL “pretty” light rock. (4:00)
3 Mid-slow. Soulful falsetto singing. Very restrained piano, bass, drums. (3:30)
4 * Mid-fast. Soulful with a driving beat. Overlaying vocal tracks. Just a bit edgier; this one has the only appearance of some chords on electric guitar. (3:29)
5 ** Mid-fast, bouncy, fun. Very good falsetto lead vox, funky keys and bass, a bit of electronics. Definitely the best track. (3:51)
