Emerging from the ashes "Ned's Atomic
Dustbin" left behind, "Groundswell" makes an immediate
impact with their five-song prelude, "Corrode." Opting
for only enough time as necessary to prevent such a calamity
in terms of musical sense, "Groundswell" is born -
the product of a new directive of Jonn Penney, who "sings,"
and has taken a turn into a more focused direction that does
well to adapt itself to the modern era. It's playfully sly, though
engrossing, a maturity that lends itself to stirring emotionalism.
Dual instances lead and leave off here in the form of "Corrode"
in its raw form and polished radio edit, and regardless is of
an edgy texture, significantly "hard" alternative,
as is the succinct "You Think," before yielding to
the pop-friendly leanings of "Second Hand," and "Find
Out Why." |
