Slowly
we Survive
Music To Play Hide And Seek To
Reviewed 8.20.07
Three guys with one epic goal; “Slowly We Survive
has their sights set on making the kind of music that will
make you take a step back and say, so THIS is what its like
to be alive.” While listening to the new EP 'Music
to play hide and seek to', I can say that I experience a
variety of intense emotion. By the end of the album my heart
is racing and my muscles are weak. I feel ALIVE.
The 7 title EP melts together in the best way possible,
one song complimenting the next. This doesn’t give
your heart the chance to slow down- it keeps your adrenaline
high. This disc has such a massive, heart wrenching sound
that the actual lyrics aren't important, yet I still get
the feeling of hope and passion and I can't help but think
that is because my mind is digesting the lyrics more than
I am consciously realizing. Talk about an intense musical
experience.
Nick has a voice that makes me completely swoon like a teenage
girl (and is reminiscent of Cedric Bixler-Zavala of The
Mars Volta) and his guitar playing is absolutely psychedelic,
Jordan’s clean and precise bass makes it easy for
even a rhythm less person to catch the beat, Stefan uses
his ENTIRE drum kit in every song, and we love it!
Prior to listening to Slowly we Survive I assumed I wouldn’t
like them and they would sound novice. This assumption was
purely based on my dislike for their band name and nothing
more. I was COMPLETELY wrong, this band has taught me not
to assume anything about a band just because I don’t
care for their band name. (Which I shouldn’t be doing
in the first place) After finally listening to the album
for the first time I rushed over to the bands myspace and
left a comment basically saying “Holy shite”.
And here are my apologies for taking so damn long to come
round!
