What I like about this album from
Nightmare Air is that it has the quality of being almost two different bands,
in the sense that it has a split personality, yet it flows so smoothly that you
wouldn’t even notice the change—it doesn’t sound like two different bands and
rightfully so.
We begin with female vocals and some
dream pop type of music, which in all obviousness comes out a bit like Metric
or a band along those lines. That’s
completely fine by me, as the entirety of these songs could have followed suit
and made me just as happy.
Slowly but surely though, you can
sense the male vocals coming through until the second half or so of the album where
they just completely take over. This is
most apparent on track 7, “Eyes”, which reminds me a bit of Jane’s Addiction.
Now if you made a CD of nine songs that
sounded like Metric, turned into Jane’s Addiction and then brought it all back
home to the beginning again on the last song, you’d probably be able to tell
that there were two separate bands being mixed together. That is the brilliance and beauty of
Nightmare Air—that they can do this (much better than I can ever write about
it) so seamlessly.
