Daughters have sort of a split personality on this cassette, as their music
seems to take one side on Side A and a different turn on Side B. When we start “Whiteness Where the Water
Was”, there are some heavy synth loops that turn into Weezer-ish type
rock. This is also like They Might Be
Giants and is all around just some cool pop rock twee with bass sludge.
On the
second side, we are treated to a nice guitar riff to start off, but then the
music takes a different meaning. Gone
are the poppy feelings on the first side and in comes the angst. This remind me of the first time that I heard
Cloud Nothings, as that sort of just raw emotion and hell bent destruction is
coming out in a non-violent way. (Well,
non-violent in the sense that it isn’t really metal or hardcore)
Feelings
are what make the world go around, but if you’re expecting the same happy go
lucky sound on both sides you’ll be in for a surprise when the second side
cranks out its force. I do enjoy the
fact that it is sort of opposites in that way though. It’s a nice contrast and probably has some
deeper artsy meaning with the juxtaposition and what not.
