'Colours' is a song that has been floating around for sometime now on the bands EP. It is a song that would fall under the summer jam category. It comes with big pop sounds making it burst to the seam with it's catchiness. "We call it life, oh yeah that's what we call it..." 'Slow' is a simple song with nothing special going on but it gets stuck in your head and I enjoy it's repetitiveness. The constant vocals of "time moves slow" will ring in your ears after and might even force you to come back and listen again. 'Naked Kids' just like Colours was also featured on the bands debut EP. This is my guilty pleasure song of the year. Despite it's disturbing song title, it is just an all around fun song. The lyrics are just about chilling around town with your buddies and having no responsibilities what so ever. I guarantee if you listen once you will find it hard to get those lyrics out of your head.
A few other album highlights are 'Betty’s a Bombshell' which I would put in the same category as 'Naked Kids' but just toned down a little bit. 'Cruel and Beautiful World' offers a great banjo sound mixed with some easing vocals that make the song a nice sit back and bitch about all your problems type of song. Grouplove's debut effort Never Trust a Happy Song is the type of album you would want to spin after a tough day and want to just sit back and not think about anything. It is a fun, humorous, and has a familiar sound of growing up, it is an all around enjoyable summer pop album.

ReplyDeletethe album is astounding
although the review is very good, the album is much deeper than the reviewer gives credit. Besides Grouplove being a mindblowing live experience, the album will be a breakthrough record..they're playing Letterman soon
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments guys. Let me know when that Letterman gig is at.
