Grand Archives - Keep in Mind Frankenstein (ALBUM REVIEW)

This is Grand Archives 2nd Album from the band from Seattle, who formed in 2007, as the Archives. They are an American Indie Rock band made up of Mat Brooke, Curtis Hall and Jeff Montano.

Keep In Mind Frankenstein is a melodic, soft album mixing gentle music with soft airy vocals. There are hints of country and western and hints of 70’s American rock within this undramatic and unexciting medley of well played, well sung, easy to listen to tracks, which are overall, certainly not bad, but certainly not great.

Topsy’s Revenge starts the album with gently played instruments and a nice accordion accompaniment. The lyrics are emotive and sung gently but there is no real imagination or excitement.

Witchy Park/Tomorrow Will (Take Care Of Itself) is a nice track, happy and upbeat. The backing vocals and harmonies lift the song and the well played acoustic instruments make this a pleasurable track to listen to.

Cha Cha - We Are (ALBUM REVIEW)

Music Reviews

Wednesday, 26 May 2010

Written by Adam Simpson

Cha Cha are a relatively unknown London band comprising; Blain McGuigan (Vocals/Bass), Alex Cameron Ward (Backing Vocals/Guitar) and Samuel Garbutt (Drums). Their debut album We Are is a superb demonstration of talent, experimentation and uniqueness which should have been titled “We Are Great!”

Their sound is catchy and a subtle mix of many genres and influences, but definitely their own, they describe their sound as “a cross between dirty pop hymns and offbeat disco rock” and I guess that sums it up pretty well. It is an upbeat and funky sound, perfect for the summer.

Javier Moreno - Bad Woman (EP REVIEW)

Music Reviews

Tuesday, 25 May 2010

Written by Adam Simpson

This short, 5 track album from the Spaniard Javier Moreno is a blend of striking Spanish folk music and upbeat flamenco. This is Javier’s second release, following the release of his first album Un Tesoro, which was sung in Spanish tongue. This album is sung in English beautifully with small passages of Spanish language, which are used creatively and add authenticity to the Mediterranean sound.

Javier has been on the scene in this country since 2006 and this album should definitely give him the credit that he justly deserves. It is not mainstream by any stretch of the imagination, nor is it bound for huge success or popularity but do not let that put you off.
