This is an interesting band, sometimes very minimal, somewhat poppy & other times melancholy, slow and more minimal. Lots of nice guitar work & pretty solid, nice songwriting. Sounds very akin to Felt, The Church, The Wake, Mark Lanegan, The For Carnation. (((1))) Minimal beat, sullen vocals leading to a nice change in volume. Somewhat like Jeff Buckley or Nick Cave with an indie fix. (((2))) Jazzy guitar, hollow beat, catchy vocals. Nice off-kilter strums. Deals with the shittiness of everyday life. ((((3)))) Pretty shimmery guitars, bitter & dark lyrics that may as well be death metal. Like a bleak & twisted version of the Church. ((4)) Straight-ahead indie pop, not bad for what it is not good either. (((((5)))))) Sad, low-hearted guitar strum & spoken word, click track beat. dealing with ghosts & loss of love. The Brits like these folks known this stuff SO well-it’s mindblowing. ((((6))))) Sloooowww, Mark Lanegan-style smoky “last drink of the night, she just screwed me over again”. Stark & beautiful. (((7))) Acoustic burdensome folk. Deals with wanting to get outta town - forever. (((8))) Here’s that Wake influnece: medium electro beat, sorrow-filled vocals, pretty nice female/male dueting. ((((9)))) Slow, über-minimal, shimmering guitars, catchy folk-pop. ((((10)))) Gorgeous guitar & sad viola, very English sounding vocals not so much an accent as it is the atittude & approach. (((11))) Big-ass re-mix of track #8. Sounds similar until the silly vocoder kicks in (at 4:26) & some bouncy clangy beats, too. | ||
