Rainbow Kitten Surprise - How to: Friend, Love, Freefall
Quote:
This is a review that I actually own the vinyl for. My sister gave the album to me for Christmas this. The cover artwork is really cool and is sort of folk-rock. “Holy War” has a video on YouTube and was probably a single. “Make way for the revolution” on “Holy War” is probably the coolest lyric on the album. The band is from Boone, North Carolina and is on Elektra Records, and was formed in 2013. I was living in Minnesota at that time and folk-rock was popular at that time. This band is a blend of multiple types of rock, but the album is interesting. I haven’t listened to any of the band’s other albums but will be going further. The song titles for the songs are also interesting, and that is what attracts me to the albums. There isn’t much information about the band on their wiki page.
The band has a vibe similar to Of Monsters And Men, which is my favorite band, so my sister picked out a great album for me to review. I was really excited to open a gift that was an album. Wiki says they are an alternative rock band and I agree, it’s more of that than folk sounding.
“When It Lands” was the first song I played on my record player when I got home. The band randomly has “Schoolboy Q” listed on wiki as an artist who influenced them, but I don’t see any hip-hop in this album, maybe they just have met once or something. This music is coming to me at a time in my life when I am cutting out hip-hop and trying to find explore new music and this album is “fitting in” right at the right time. The song “Matchbox” has a nice drum kick and would be fun playing the drums too, along with “Moody Orange”. I don’t have a drum set here but would love drumming to this album. This band was on CBS The Morning, and in that interview, they said they don’t like to do be put into a genre. I love that about an artist. This album’s best song or just my favorite is “Holy War”, I like everything about it.
“Polite Company” is another peaceful song that ends the album nicely with the piano and guitars plus the ending of “Polite Company” is probably the best part of the whole album. Really closes it off well. There are two chairs on the album cover, I wonder what that symbolizes? The whole album has a great groove to it. “When it lands” seems like the only song that came up on my record player, but this album would be really interesting remixed by someone.
