A quick review of this album might be harder than I think it will be. For one thing this band is very different from your run of the mill rock band. Group members include Jesika von Rabbit(vocals/keys/bass/guitar), Todd Rutherford (guitar/ bass/programmer/vocals), Hayden Scott (drums) and Ethan Allen (guitar/producer).
Their music is a blend of electro/rock/pop music and it's very somber sounding, to me anyways. Very laidback and stylized. Jesika at times envokes memories of Martha Davis (the Motels) and Madonna with her vocals. It's a weird combo but it works. Songs like "Cowboy Up" and "Disco #2" show the electro side with some cool guitars that sound like they are out on the range waiting to be picked up in a whirlwind and dropped in a dance club.
"Witness" reminds me of some wacky B-52's leftover from the Mesopotamia days. Would certainly fit with that album. The song features both Jesika and Todd singing. There is even some words that are thrown in saying to 'Kill Jesika'. A fun song, though a bit repeative.
"Devil's Playround" is the country rock thrown into the mix. Once the song kicks in you can't help but still keep tapping along. "New Engery" evokes images of traveling down that dusty road with guitar slung across your back and moving to the next town that you might lose your heart in. Another song of team effort for Jesika and Todd. great song, definately my favorite along with the previously mentioned song.
Overall if you want an album to pass the time along to, this is it. The catchy songs get your attention and you don't forget the songs cause they are full of thought provoking images and landscapes that are waiting to be drawn out in the minds of the listeners.
