self-produced and self-sufficient
22 Aug 2008
Format:Audio CD
Wow. I'm not much of a listener for indie bands, but this band caught my attention. After hearing the first verse of "Champagne Socialist" for the first time on their myspace ([...]), they had me curious. I delved deeper into this mysterious British "pop" duo (as they refer to themselves... though I'd call them "fast soft rock" - wouldn't that just make "rock"?) and found that their album as a whole was pretty good.
Of course not every band is perfect, so they do have some songs that I COULDN'T care less about. Namely "Friend or Foe" (funny thing is, the band claims that 50% of people like it and the other 50% hate it... weird) and "Everyman." But aside from those 2 tracks, the other 8 are either decent or good. My personal favorite, "The Orator," starts with a quirky intro that may turn the average listener off right away, and this is not a good start to a cd... but if you keep listening past the intro you'll begin to appreciate how good of a song this really is. A very good rock song indeed, and I especially dig the piano foundation laid throughout the song. Their first single, "Champagne Socialist," is a simple song strung around a good bassline and drum beat. Another one of my favorites. Three other notable songs are "I'm the world's best kept secret," "The city that never wakes," and "Rendezvous."
For an indie band's first album, me really liking 5 out of the 10 songs is pretty good. I definitely recommend a listen of their songs on their myspace at the very least, and I recommend the album if you like what you hear.
Chris does a very good job of producing this album. This band has no need for a "professional producer." They are self-sufficient.
That's all there is to it.
