The Comeback
April 6, 2008
I’m back. After an extended hiatus, the Tunatunes is back in action, with a slight caveat: Five days a week, every week, is clearly too much for my busy and lazy self. So therefore, updating whenever I can, first up is The Comeback (get it? get it? I’m coming back…Yeah, it’s not actually funny.):
Song: The Comeback
Artist: Shout Out Louds
Album: Howl Howl Gaff Gaff
Link: The Comeback
Genre: Indie Rock, Indie-pop
Mood: fun, foot-tapping, catchy
Description: If the radio, and the general populace for that matter, embraced actual music, than this song would be a chart topper. It’s catchy and poppy and the melody is pretty simple, but nevertheless it gets into your head and refuses to leave. To contrast with the fun-loving pop is the voice, which sounds almost strained or tired. It’s not, if it’s lacking anything at all it’s probably range, but it certainly works as a dynamic, giving the song a bit more depth. Other than his voice, there is the traditional rock band, with guitar and drums and so forth, but somehow, there is also a subtle electronic feel, though that might just be the distortion of the guitar or something. Altogether, this song is not one of great emotional depth, but it sure is fun to blast out of your speakers shouting “Let’s call this the Comeback!”
