The Seventy-Third Day.

I've discovered that Thurlow is poor mans Eulogies. The both have a similar sound but Eulogies is a little tighter and has had more experience in the studio, this (Here Anonymous) being their second recording and first full length album.

It is either this or just the song "Two Can Play" sound similar to Thurlow.
Either way, I'm more excited for Thurlow's progression into a full length album, then their current album which needs a little work. Still an enjoyable piece though.

The Seventy-First Day.

Thurlow
They only have a 8 track EP, but it's good. On the surface they do sound pretty generic, but truly, there is some intriguing stuff here. Of the two piece(both singers on different tracks) the girls voice isn't my cup of tea, but it is an interesting sound. She sounds very classically trained, with seemingly perfect pitch. I don't know, I like a little bit of misguided attempt, but it's still a good sound.

The tracks I like more are when the male sings. He has a very average voice for the genre I like, but I guess there's a reason I like it.

The band defiantly has potential to do more, like add more band members. Sometimes the production gets a little cheesy. The bass lines could be worked in a little better, but a solid album still.

The Seventy-th-Day.

So I guess it's really in fashion of higher register female singers to cover Kings of Leon songs.

Also an awesome 80's remix. AC Newman did it this year, but this remix some how uses more 80's stereotypes than the actual song.
