Bad Spy - Heat Death Of The Universe

 


There's a lot to catch up on before the end of the year so without further ado...........Brooklyn's Bad Spy have released what is essentially a mini album. The title and  album cover might suggest something Modern Prog and there is an end of the world theme, but this is great Pop Rock.

Coming in at just over 20 minutes, the songs stand alone, you wouldn't necessarily spot any link. Heat Death Of The Universe is a gentle melodic affair with some killer riffs. Jack Dougherty's laid back vocal suits the material perfectly.





At times the album resides somewhere between AOR and West Coast Pop Rock. The title track races along and borders on Power Pop with a surprise burst out solo at the end. Zuccotti is less direct, settling on a strumming almost ballad like vibe with another welcome guitar solo.

Elsewhere, both the largely acoustic Snow Cover Palisades and vocal harmony led Not So Secret Admirer both impress. There's plenty here to suggest a bright future, indeed the promise shouts out. I look forward to hearing more from Bad Spy.





You can listen to and buy the album here. At 4 dollars for the download or 6 dollars for the cassette, what have you got to lose?
