We Are Night Sky
Like something out of hillbilly hell or some
bizarre zombie version of the The White
Stripes, this band is another boy/girl guitar and drum duo
with rock and blues roots, but trends to the darker side of
the Southern gothic aesthetic. As if you couldn’t tell from
their name, the band is kind of dark. The crunching minor key
guitar backs the lead singer’s plaintive wails with lots of
mentions of hell and skulls and ghosts. Don’t get me wrong,
the album sounds way more authentic than something like a Rob
Zombie album, and really takes on a cool vibe as they work their
way through mostly slow and mid-tempo songs interspersed with
the occasional rocker. The album is all swamp religion, cigarettes,
tattoos and American trucks. They’re definitely a band packed
with potential. We’ll see how their follow-up builds on the
debut’s successes and weeds out the weaker moments. |
