Really inventive Indie from London quartet, Bad Wives with a cross genre selection of four songs. Everything from Post Punk to Angular Pop, Fuzz to Melodic Pop, at times in the same song. Throughout the experimental riffs, there is never a neglect of the catchiness.
The vocal helps this and allows the instrumentals to go off on a tangent. The riffs on Lost And Found are dual and come from two completely different angles, yet blend together wonderfully to provide a crackerjack of a song that even hints at Psych Pop.
Don't Get Excited is Shoegaze, but Indie Pop is bursting to get out. Sympathy is Slacker Fuzz, yet the riff is almost Prog with a Pop song chorus. Greg's Song edges close to the US Indie 80s, again the riff is everything, wonderfully dominant and much darker than the other three songs.
I can't enthuse about the arrangements enough. To me, this is what Indie should be about. Indie is a description that describes too much now. It should be a vibe, a feel, not a genre that allows everything that isn't easily genre categorised. This is the real thing.
You can listen to and buy the EP here.
