This is a great album, short sweet and catchy. It has a very Daft Punk vibe, like a mix between the "Discovery" and "Human after all" albums
I could imagine this being a big hit on pop radio stations much in the same way as Röyksopp was.
Listen to this album, if nothing else the first track will hook you!
The funk will keep you hooked until the end.
I dont know if the drums are real, but I certainly love them! The guitar solos are great and the vocals are just as great, I was scared they would be in French but they are in English, and I understood them perfectally, very deep and meaningful lyrics.
This band sounds like a mix of The Killers (vocally) and Muse and a bit of 30 Seconds To Mars. All bands I highly respect, this band is going to be a big hit in my play list for a few weeks, and hopefully on the world stage.
Favorite tracks:
-Melody From Mars
-Desperate King
-Semaphore
They are actually all good songs but these in particular spoke to me.
I came across this in my usual random browsing and really loved the atmosphere and synth sounds used. The drumbeats are really solid and keep you floating in the state of dreaminess. The basslines are very thick and full of tone which I like to hear in music like this.
While looking at the album cover I would have expected something like beach and whale sounds, but this gives me a spacey feeling, the kind I like. I'm hard to impress, however you have succeeded to impress me.
Overall for best results I highly recommend:
-Numbers
-Bodonseesender
-Soliton (the intro is weird but the drumloop is great!)
N.B. Towards the end of the album the songs stopped loading for me
I had the random songs on and came across the track Dreams and throughly enjoyed it. Long synthy dreamy floating spacey music like this is something I'm very fond of.
I thought the tracks could have used some more creative names other then "Synthe 1, 2, 3, etc." But you shouldn't judge a track by its name. Speaking of judging by names and covers, the cover of this album was rather 90s generic. I though it was very unsuitable to be a cover, its the kind of picture you see on really old 3d websites namely Bryce 3d.
In closing, I highly recommend that you listen to "Dreams", its without a doubt the best track on this album.
One of the most instantly striking things about this album is the cover. The music while quite good, and a little repetitive is great, I just love the album cover. I liked the song titles, although sometimes the music to a certain title didn't deliver what I would have imagined from reading the title.
While skipping through some of the songs, I was very pleasantly surprised to find "On a rocket back home" This is the kind of spacey electronic music that I love to chill out too. Then as if that wasn't enough, Hollow Tree delivers a very refreshing vocal track and nylon stringed guitar, although the guitar sounded sampled, Sample Tank comes to mind, it was still a wonderful way to end the album.
For best results I highly recommend listening to the following:
-Midnight Reprise
-On A Sky Rocket Back Home
-Hollow Tree
Just listening to the opening track I was captured from the powerful vocals and drums. It feels reminiscent of the 90s in a way, I cant think of the bands name, but this is of a high professional quality.
Its very catchy and fresh, definatly shining through all extraordinarily bland and tiresome hip hop and rap (which is spelt with a silent C). Connor O'Brien, not to be confused with the comedian Conan O'Brien (who is just as great only in the field of comedy).
Connor O'Brien has a very uplifting vibrant atmosphere in the songs, a rich full voice shimmering guitar really add up to make you feel great!
In closing take a listen to this fantastic album, it will not disappoint!
The intro track had me hooked, I'm still listening as I write this. Rob plays the piano in exactally the way I want to hear it being played.
In this day an age its hard to come across music as beautifully played with so much emotion that can fully rely on the music itself with no need for lyrics. This is the kind of lovely music I would watch the stars to.
