Ok, here we have the debut from We Have Band. For anyone never heard of WHB they are a bubbley electro pop outfit with hints of Hot Chip, New Order and a dash of Black Kids thrown into the mix.
It kicks off to be honest on a very boring note with the first 2 tracks 'piano' & 'Buffet' really dreary and easily forgettable tracks. But once you get these out of the way its actually a decent album! funky bass lines and screaming synths here and there. Very 80's again as we see from many releases nowadays but its nice 80's with a bloc party style vocalist weving in and out of the tracks. criticisms comes when you get 4/5 tracks in and the lyrics are very very basic! throughout they are carried by the electrifying bass lines and galloping drums, this is definately the bands weakest area!
It does get a little 'samey' as you delve deeper into the album, but its the kind of repetition you kind of dont mind because what you here is good, you cant help but tap a foot or spin a beer matt to most of this debut release, i think these guys have a great future ahead but they do have to adress a few areas most certainly.
'Love What Your Doing?' is the bands best track for me, i feel this sums up the bands in 4 minutes, giving you the pretty side of their work.
Its a definate grower...... 100% worth a purchase, i feel the NME are gunna be all over these dudes
