Having
the name Gypsy Cab Company gets you reviewed on a website called Raised by
Gypsies, but being available on cassette is just icing on the proverbial
cake. Now trying to tell you what this sounds like
because it’s probably not what you would hear inside of a gypsy cab is the true
challenge.
This
is piano rock in the biggest possible way.
It’s Elton John meets The Fray, but I’m okay with that somehow. There is a synth bog on the second song with
beats and ahhh’s. Vocals come into
play and I can hear it as being somewhere between that Fray sound and Maroon 5
in an almost radio rock genre. Hints of
Interpol and They Might Be Giants come out before this also takes turns towards
Blue October and Animal Flag (especially on “Bathroom Surgery”).
I’m not
really as familiar with radio rock as much as I should be in a pop sense, but
the question with this remains whether it is good or just a clone of one of
those bands. As I can relate this to
certain bands- and I did- I cannot seem to name that one specific band, such as
“Oh, this is definitely ripping off _____!” and so in that way I can only
conclude that it is that good.
