It’s peppy. It’s poppy. It’s ‘indie’ if you wish. It’s got a bit of a retro vibe going back to The Smiths on uppers, or something akin to that, with just a hint of some dark, goth, post-punkish type stuff. Use of synths, drum machines, guitars, bass, backing vocals. It’s alluring, downer but upbeat stuff - all songs are Mid tempo. Band is based out of N.Y. and this is their second full-length. No FCC’s. *My Favorites*: 3, 4, 6, 10. 1. (3:30) MId. Catchy, peppy, with handclaps, clangy guitar, backing vocals. 2. (4:29) Mid. A bit dreamy albeit upbeat. Plodding beat, up guitar. 3. *(3:15) MId. Driving, propelling beat, strong bass (or is that a guitar?), backing vocals, pretty and upbeat. 4. *(3:54) Mid / Fast. Quick beat, cool bass line, handclaps or keys / synth, echoey. Great lyric ‘I want to buy you something...but I don’t have any money’. 5. (3:53) Mid. Handclap, synth, drum start. Gets fuller as it goes on. 6. *(3:22) Mid. Frantic guitar, drums. Driving, echoey vocal. Big and epic-sounding. Quiet, spacey ending. 7. (2:49) Mid. Keyboard stuff with processed horns or strings. Stretched out vocal delivery. Dreamy, ethereal, a bit trippy. 0:20 silence at end. 8. (4:12) Mid. Guitar, drum machine, fingersnaps, backing vocals. Dense and driving. 9. (3:51) Mid. A bit dark, guitar and bass playing off one another. Trippy high-pitched vocal in the back. 10. *(4:16) Mid. Hypnotic bass, plodding beat. A bit dreamy, yet upbeat. Long fade-out. 11. (3:29) Mid. Stretched-out vocals, echoey, disjointed beat. Long fade-out. 12. (4:21) Mid. Dreamy synth, easy-going beat, slight vocal echo, backing vocals. | ||
