Album Review

Reviewed 2016-07-20
Ana Calvi. Martha Davis/Motels come to mind for sure in this slick dark sultry dreamy female fronted rock. Anita Lane too. Great guitars, drums, sounds - one moment electro poppy the next Joy Division crossed with Hammock. Fans of dramatic rock a la Nick Cave, Grinderman will love. A certain 80's flare throughout really makes me remember what a great band The Motels were, how fantastic Martha Davis sang. Fits in with the plethora of great female fronted fuzzy dream rock as well.


1) (4:30) upbeat sultry slick toned pop 2) (3:23) electro pop 80's tinged 3)* (4:04) catchy beat, dark rock, The Motels come to mind for sure, really good 4) (3:38) soulful dark near tribal 5) (3:59) very dreamy, 80's electro crossed with space rock. 6)* (4:26) slow joy division head nod space rock 7)**(4:40) searing guitar, fuzz bass, cool bass, echoey vocs, killer noisy ending, what more do you want? 8)* (3:21) "my baby loves his gun", anthemic big hit quality 9) (3:58) very poppy soulful feel to this duet with male. 10)* (3:29) big slow synth driven love song with excellent hook "God damn you're a beautiful man" (and no, it's not an FCC....) 11) (3:18) acoustic guitar balladry waltzy 12) (4:02) dark electro rock, near goth industrial. 13) (4:16) remix of #2, near techno dance 14)* (3:49) fuzz bass driven sultry dark weird gothy cool 15) (4:18) soulful bluesy "I want a new drug", sexy
