My friend found out that I like Friendly Fires, so he gave me this album before it was released. They’re an American band, very indie, and very much remind me of Friendly Fires.
I really like all the arty stuff on their album cover and their website design, and their lyrics are very simple and don’t really have much meaning. Very indie.
There are some songs on this album that I really see potential in, and there are a few that annoy me with a touch of ‘club remix’ in them. There’s a song called ‘Lisa Baby’ whose catchy guitar riffs remain in your head for weeks, in a good way. But there are other songs like ‘Next In Line’, which are more Klaxons. Who annoy me. I liked their first material, but their popular song ‘Echos’, which I think this song really sounds like, got in my head- but, even though I hate to say it, in a bad way.
So, mixed feelings for Walk the Moon. But also mixed songs within the album, such as ‘Jenny’, which is funky pop and almost sounds like Olly Murs.
Tell me what you think. Thanks, Ethan.
Hi Ethan, like your posts like your blog. And wondering how to disguise my Indy music ignorance while stressing a genuine interest. Keep on posting.
Hi Felipe, so glad that you like my posts. Thanks for the feedback. I think you’d like a band called ‘Yuck’, my favourite song by them is ‘The Wall’. Thanks again, Ethan.
great blog Ethan – you should be on YouTube! 😉
Thanks Ben, what could I do? Simply talking, or something different? Give me your feedback,
Ethan
