<1> The Cherry Wave “Under Dull Grey Skies” – A flurry
of fuzz begins this track. The vocals
kick in and it’s like an amped up version of MBV. Really, I only downloaded this four song EP
to listen to because I love The Cherry Wave.
This song is in no way disappointing me. It’s like R.E.M. on acid. So… much… static.
<2> Shallow “Alternative” – This song has a decent
amount of static in it, and reminds me a little of something like Hot Water
Music in the verse. For the chorus, it
gets more melodic. It could almost be
an emo song if it wasn’t for all the static going on in the verses. The chorus is nice though. A little bit of Dashboard coming out and I
don’t even know what else.
<3> Beach Volleyball “First Floor” – And the drums
bring us into some fuzz. Is Lamppost
Records an all fuzz label then? Because
that’s pretty cool if they are. This song is a bit slower than the two that
came before it though. Even with the
drums into the chorus kick in, this has got that slowness to it that just makes
you mellow and chill. It’s a nice
change of pace from the two, but also a genre I enjoy as it borders on the line
of stoner rock.
<4> Fluorescent Tiger “Nothing But Blue Skies from
Here On” – Check the drum beat and we come in with a wave of distortion. It’s
like a sped up Mazzy Star. I do feel as
if vocals are coming through, though they seem to be quiet and thus getting
drown out by the guitar fuzz. And now
the music just kicked in really heavily, so forget what you heard or thought
you heard. This is a great big static
mess and I love it. It’s also going on in somewhat of a drone
way.
