It is fair to say that we don't get a lot in from Belgium and what we do tends to drift towards a noisier type of Indie. So all credit to Renaissance Records for picking up this excellent Belgian trio. It does fit in well sound wise with that side of the pond.
At times, there is a real laidback West Coast feel to the album. At ease with a slight Americana Jangle, but with one foot in Melodic Guitar Pop. There will also be a lot of comparisons to latter day Teenage Fanclub and even more so, Dropkick.
Cmon Cmon can also pick up the pace, notably on the excellent Black Holes. Waiting even plants a big foot in Indie Pop. Can You Take It sounds somewhere between The Eagles and Crowded House whilst the song instrumentally seems desperate to be Americana.
I Don't Know is driven by a great Bass line and again edges towards Guitar Pop, even Summer Pop. Nothing On The Radio is part Eagles, part Glasgow Jangle Pop whilst Say What It Means takes the full Jangling option. The Crack And The Light is a gentle, but highly enjoyable listen.
You can listen to and buy the album here and buy the CD here.
