Very
rarely do you find a band that just clicks on every level and with every
song. The Casket Girls have this
quality of dream pop rock mixed some sort of synth, but the music isn’t really
as important as the overall presentation of it.
Don’t
get me wrong, music is the most important thing, but the way that these notes
are played, these vocals are sung and these lyrics were written just come
together to craft one of the finest pieces of music these ears have ever bared
witness.
A
song like “Ashes & Embers” can have this really long, drawn out deep
sounding synth that just sounds perfect.
Other songs have different qualities, but they all remain unique in
their own ways yet also connected so on some level very much the same.
It
is hard to find an album that just clicks on every level like this. I’m not sure I can recall one since last year’s
“Arrows” by Polly Scattergood and
before that Metric’s “Fantasies”. This would be the top of my Best of 2014
list right now and be very unlikely to be dethroned if I kept such lists.
Words
cannot describe the magic that is happening here. You just better become a part of it yourself—that’s
all I can really say.
