Using Lou Reed at his happiest as a baseline is a risky gamble, but one that has paid off for Wareham in various projects. In a solo setting it comes across as slightly overmedicated, pleasant indie rock that is never tedious yet also never grating.
Is it the analog synthesizer flourishes, or the gentle delivery with an aggressive intent, or the seamless shuttling between disparate elements that shouldn't work together? The band sounds perfectly familiar, yet completely its own thing.
The beat rules supreme, the instrumentation is slinky, the vocals are coaxing you to the dance floor, and the whole thing says you’re going to be up all night.
Great set of non-stop rocking from this one-man-band which turned into a full-blown outfit.
A powerful set of guitar pop songs, fronted by sometimes disaffected indie female vocals.
