The Sky Drops - bourgeois beat

I call this duo's music grunge-gaze and i think that is pretty self-explanatory. Its good rollicking stuff such as on the driving grunge of "Truth is". Its noisy and poppy in all the best traditions of American grunge. "Hang on" though is quite different but equally good, a shoegazy epic with jangly guitar reverberations echoing through the mix. "Stone white" brings in elements of classic rock and heavy psychedelic noise.

So they have plenty of influences but its not a copycat album, true genius is in knowing what should be stolen anyway and they bring it all together really well. The duo's male and female vocals working together well especially on a track like "Swimming with fishes". The guitars roar beautifully too. Its a really good album.
