INDIE FOLK-ROCK Big instrumentation with multiple lead voices reminds me of Arcade Fire. Then add electric banjo (often) and mandolin (sometimes) for a folk-rock touch. From the band’s web site: “Soaked in electric crescendos & folk tinged sing-along anthems, Shred Kelly is known for their high energy live show that ignites dance floors with their alternative folk sound. Over 3 albums and countless tours, the 5 British Columbians have developed their signature sound by taking inspiration from the mountains where they hail from and the people who inhabit them.” RIYL Arcade Fire; Edward Sharpe & Magnetic Zeros; Of Monsters and Men No FCC issues. 1 ** Mid-fast. Big, exuberant, orchestral anthem. Male lead vox. (4:06) 2 * Mid-fast. Energetic folk-rock. Female lead vox. (3:25) 3 Mid-tempo. Less energized; a bit rueful. Female lead vox. (3:41) 4 Very fast. Folk-dance intro, then loud folk-rock. Male lead vox. (4:41) 5 * Mid-tempo. Gentler ballad. Big orchestral middle. Male lead, female harmony. (3:46) 6 Mid-fast. Spirited folk-rock. Carpe Diem lyric is a bit trite. Female lead vox. (4:12) 7 * Mid-fast. Danceable 80s rock reminded me of Blondie. Female lead vox. (4:45) 8 Slow. Numb, lethargic, full of ennui. Male lead vox. (4:22) 9 ** Fast. Loud, powerful, high energy. Male/female duet. (4:59) 10 * Mid-fast. Bouncy, fun sounding, but lyrics of disappointment. Good female lead vox. Blondie again. (4:22) 11 Mid-fast. Short instrumental. Ragged start; big build; fade out. (1:09) | ||
