I’m not sure whether I’m being prematurely Christmassy, but this album has real wintery notes, with falsetto vocals mixed with the big-band style percussion making for a fitting yet emotive soundtrack to the cold months. It’s an album that you can build memories to, nurse a hangover to, cry to, and laugh to.
Considering The Chevin got together in just 2010, each track is so musically tight with the guitar, bass, and drums complementing each other into sheer musical brilliance. ‘Drive’ welcomes the listener into a track, which, funnily enough, you could imagine popping on the car stereo for a long road trip, and when you listen to it years later takes you immediately back to that very place. The track builds up musical layers before entering an anthem-esque chorus, a fusion which mixes the worlds of Aqualung, The Killers and Coldplay if the mash-up was played in a church.
'Blue Eyes' provides something a little different for indie ears remaining raw, not overproduced, with acoustic guitar and a country-style bass line, perfectly performing the influence that the English band must have found living at Sonic Ranch near Texas.
The tracks are above the average in length, meaning more for your money, but also a high chance you’ll skip on to the next before the song ends because you’ve heard a little too much synth or vibrato.
All in all, this album provides an ideal mix of classic, indie music with splashes of synthetic sound and modern vibes.
