We're Already Gone / The Beautiful Girls
Source: amo.org.au We�re Already Gone expands expectation, in instrumentation, performance and song craft. This record has a strong band emphasis and includes a stack of extra coloring. Keyboards, a brass section, melodica and harp solos move the album forward. The rhythm sections time spent (nearly four years), on the road is evident. It swings. Like their previous releases, We�re Already Gone follows the bands stripped back ideal. It is a raw album. Here room sound is dominant, it�s the sound of a band playing together. It is also a collision of styles. And though it does occasionally dip into the same pool of influence as former material, the similarities aren�t strong. The songs, for the most part, are darker, with more miles behind them � though there are still the trademark moments of melodic beauty (Let�s Take The Long Way and When I Had you With Me). Mostly it is a collision of structure and riff. A rythmic mix of art, dub and rock. |
