Kim and Kelley Deal make difficult music. This is tough sledding at first – like much good and great music – but it’s interesting and at times, very good.
Heavily distorted vocals push, pull, and mold these tracks into beautiful miniature soundscapes that sound fresh and innovative while managing to be accessible.
Whatever Gordon Gano’s been doing to preserve that awful tenor of his should be patented. On last year’s EP, Happy New Year, he’s never sounded better.
Hey, Killer is the most consistent Local H record since 2002’s Here Comes the Zoo and the band’s best since at least 2004’s Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles?
Senses Fail and Man Overboard team up for this four-song EP, featuring a new song from each band as well as each band covering one of the other’s choice cuts.
I’m not one for acoustic heartbreak. Anything vaguely Dashboard Confessional-like and I’m running for the exit, but UK indie rockers Moose Blood got me with “Cherry.”
