Album Review: Through Color - Dream In Black And White

Anglesey, North Wales 5-piece Through Color manage to show plenty of potential with their somewhat favourable mini-album, 'Dream In Black And White'. Although they do bring a sense of predictability. Tracks like 'All Singing, All Dancing Baby' and 'Headlights and Halo's' have that generic youthful pop-rock tone, similar to that of The Blackout's more favourable material, with the latter having the nearly "emo" chorus line of "we'll dance with angels tonight, in the shadows, under the moonlight".

Whilst 'Kids With Cancer" has plenty of punch and momentum, that is followed up by 'Raise Your Glass" nicely, as the band definitely know how to write hooks and have them at the right time. On top of this, the bands tight-knit, rocky guitars manages to avoid them becoming another light rock band with pop-like hooks.

Album Review: North Atlantic Oscillation - Grappling Hooks

North Atlantic Oscillation take a ambient/prog-rock approach on 'Grappling Hooks', with a steady mix of loud and soft tracks.

'Hollywood Has Ended' summarises the bands sound with its Pink Floyd-esque delicateness and bright, atmospheric vibe being mixed with indie rock guitars. On paper it may not sound very good but in the end its rather appreciative.

Elsewhere tracks 'Cell Count' and 'Ceiling Poem' showcase the bands electronic-based soft side with '77 Hours' and 'Audioplastic' being the opposite and sounds like nearly a different band altogether, with crashing drums and rocking guitars. Although the bands use of electronica remains intact.
