Boreal
the Sky might just be the perfect band for those who like hardcore and indie
rock, but not music that is too hardcore or too indie rock. They
have a certain post rock quality and bring I Kill Giants to mind musically as
well.
But
they also implore these screechy guitars that border on synth. This
brings to mind something like Scary Kids Scaring Kids, only Boreal the Sky isn’t
quite that heavy and they can seamlessly transition into something that comes
off like The Stereo or Jack’s Mannequin.
“Drags
Us Under” chimes in with a roller disco influence and for some reason I can
also hear some of The Honorary Title in here (I want to sing “Bridge and Tunnel”
at times), but mostly this has a Dismemberment Plan feel to it.
So in
2013, The Dismemberment Plan was having this huge, 12 year come back and they
made this album that… Let’s say didn’t live up to the hype. Needless to say I am ready for the D-Plan to
step aside and let the new school come through.
Boreal
the Sky is that new school and this album positions them to take over the world
if they should so choose.
