The Future of Extinctions
Review by Gary Hill
This is very much set in an electronic new-wave type of territory. It’s actually quite entertaining, but not without some problems. For one thing, the production is very bare-bones. At times, that’s a charm. At other times, it’s more cheesy and kind of takes away from the experience. Also, the vocals don’t vary enough from song to song to keep it interesting throughout. All that said, this shows a lot of promise. There are some shining moments here. With more attention paid to production and varying the vocals, this artist should be able to produce something exceptional in the future. For now we’ve got something quite good to dig until then.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2015 Volume 6 at lulu.com/strangesound.
