The inspirations behind the band's music must be clear for every fan. Just Like Honey is not only a classic song by The Jesus And Mary Chain, but also a perfect metaphor of the whole shoegaze music: thick and sweet like honey poured into ears. The New York-based band undoubtedly take from the best ones, but they also add a lot of their own indie pop catchiness, just like on their new album called The Weight of the Stars.
It is filled with bitter-sweet songs about love, but also about growing up and other similar existential problems. Thanks to the indie pop vibe and the absolutely nice vocal by Bianca Yang, the songs go immediately to the head and cannot be not-sung along. Strangest Boy, Giant, Golden Glow, the tracks that have the hit-potential are almost countless.
Anyway, the best one would probably be Feels The Same, not only talking about an issue that is important to the young adults, but also seduces with the original chorus. It makes true of the band's words that they are "noisy, sweet and utterly avant-garde, throbbing with sublime energy."
The Weight of the Stars costs 10 USD.
