At
first, I thought I knew what I Break Horses was going to sound like. I wanted to write it off as a generic indie
rock, figured I’d listen to it a little bit and then decide no review. But then I was pretty certain I was confusing
this with Band of Horses or some other band about horses and, well, why are
there so many bands about horses anyway?
When
shining its brightest, “Chiaroscuro” is a dance pop record that can get you up
and really moving. It’s electro synth
that has fewer qualities of the modern school of music in that nature
(Ladytron, Sleigh Bells, Kimbra, etc.) and rather looks more toward the past.
I’m
not talking about too far gone though, as this can go back as recent as Madonna
or maybe something between Tiffany or Debbie Gibson. Mainly, as I grew up with two sisters and
two cousins that were sisters, I think of this as being something that the four
of them would listen to when we were kids.
Needless
to say, I enjoy this for the nostalgia, if you will, but at the same time I
feel like it’s carrying on a tradition more than bringing back a style of music
and I really do enjoy that about it as well.
