They Say...
While it takes a little longer to get into than most songs do, the Kim Philbys make the most of the situation with "Coral Canaries," which has some interesting harmonies and a winding, adventurous format. Drummer Mie Araki provides strong fills and rolls throughout, which makes the song grow on the listener quickly. Things definitely improve with the tight, bubbly "Last Song of the Year" which is quite radio-friendly despite more twists and turns. From there the Kim Philbys slow the album down with a tender, roots-tinged "Pretend We're Dead," and an enjoyable, lovely rendition of "Negligent," despite its rather tacky, retro-synthesizer textures. The band seems to gain confidence with each track with the possible highlight being the rolling, rumbling "Painting Song," and the dreamy and somber ballad "Flag Football" the perfect follow-up. Traces of grander, bombastic influences like the Smashing Pumpkins can also be heard in the strong "Unbelievable." The closing, melancholic "Carry Me Home" could leave a few people misty-eyed.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
