On the Inside
Amidst the morass it’s sometimes easy to forget what the defining sound of 80s were. It isn’t Hair Metal or punk…when you think of the day glo era there are big, jangly guitars and moody bass with time keeping drums that offer more by showing less. You know…the Joy Division/Duran Duran/U2 thing. The Sound was great at creating these soundscapes.
And here is a band that is feeling it as well.
Trouble is, the songs aren’t as cohesive as the mood and rhythms. But when it swings it swings, Jack. There’s just no single. I know, I know, but, dammit, without a “Girls on Film”, this is destined for the dustbin.
But it’s every bit as good as the Durans first record.
Better, even.
