Waves: Can You Say [Insomnia Radio: Daily Dose MP3 Blog]
By IR's new music reviewer Sarah
Italian band Waves apparently only took 10 days to record their album 'On Air', which is astonishing as it comes across as a polished and very well produced work. Their sound is epic and ethereal in equal measures, and the album skips through new-wave, rock, a couple of quiet numbers and some good solid pop. They sing in English, and with the slight hint of an Italian accent leaking through the vocals they have a certain charm that I can't quite explain - you'll understand when you hear them!
The song that I was given to review impressed me so much that I immediately hopped over to their MySpace page to hear more. The songs on their album are incredibly diverse, and demonstrate a wide-spanning selection of influences and musical tastes within the band. Not all of it works perfectly, and there is sometimes a feeling that they need to decide on a genre and stick to it. My recommendation - stick to songs like 'Can You Say'; it's great pop with a new wave sound, mixed with full bodied vocal harmonies, can't beat it!
