The Drowners -
Is There Something on your Mind?
Wind-Up Records
Rating
Britpop returns! It comes from a Scandinavian band none the less. The Drowners U.S. debut on Wind-Up Records just goes to prove that power-pop never goes out of style. The album contains 13 stylish tracks with rich harmonies, mod-rock riffs with an alt-pop feel reminiscent of the Posies, the Szuters or the more melodic side of Eve 6. "Think of Me," "Is there something on your mind?," "One Star" and "Bittersweet" showcase the power-pop side of the band. The songs "Bellingham" and "Seasonal Affective Disorder" show the harder side of the band, taking them beyond the realms of power-pop while not escaping the band's overall melodic sound. "Postello" takes the ballad route with a beautiful melody and a virtual "wall of sound". Listen to this one with headphones on, it's multi-textured sound is a real credit to producer Matt Hyde and the songwriting and musicianship of The Drowners.
This CD is a well
rounded collection of radio hit friendly songs. A fine debut from a band
that has it in them to deliver the Platinum goods!
