Spook The Herd does just that with : :' striking content and lyrics boldly outlining the state of our ': ,: current politics and the environmental crisis. :, : : :' Hazel WildeÆs breathy vocals add a haunting element to the ': ,: record, directly reflecting some of the themes purveyed. I :, : couldnÆt help being reminded of the band æDaughterÆ upon first : :' listen. The way the vocals and drums interact, both very much ': ,: in the forefront, leading the way. Drums high in the mix boast :, : clarity and control over the album and the unique drum sound : :' commands the ear throughout. Bass is not instantly evident but ': ,: once realised, adds a dark foreboding hum which suits the :, : overall vibe. : :' ': ,: The sparsity of the arrangements make small percussion parts and :, : harmony stand out. For example, the low fi vocal and whatÆs : :' sounds like string harmony in the backing throughout are ': ,: integral to the overall sound, these wouldnÆt be as noticeable :, : if the arrangement was too busy. I also really enjoyed the : :' obvious guitar part in æEvery AtomÆ. It takes us all by ': ,: surprise with an arsty riff instead of featuring something more :, : predictable. : :' ': ,: After listening through the album, I felt slightly sonically :, : traumatised (in a good way). The lack of mid range : :' instrumentation made me feel slightly uncomfortable, as I felt ': ,: something was lacking. However, perhaps the point of the album :, : having no stable centre was to reflect the existential issues we : :' are now facing. If so it has done its job perfectly. ': ,: :, : This album is definitely making waves already for its content : :' and like tulips in spring time, itÆs definitely a grower.
