Advantages: Cheering, light hearted, catchy
Disadvantages: A teensey bit repetitive
This is a truly wonderful album. It contains a great array of songs, all of which are incredibly catchy and great for lifting spirits.
It comes under the indie-rock heading, yet I find that really it’s a little bit lighter than this, more pop punk and this is a refreshing change from the slightly suffocating wave of heavier music out there.
Most songs are upbeat and in major keys, giving the album a happy vibe with accompanied unavoidable foot tapping, equalling a great summer sound.
It can be guessed from the seemingly random name that the pigeon detectives sound is not completely average and it does have a pretty quirky nature which allows it to stand out from other similar bands.
I'm guessing it would be appreciated by fans of Good Shoes, Maximo Park etc and would be beneficial for those maturing from the likes of McFly.
A great song to start with would be Romantic Type, their newest single which you are likely to have heard on the radio and it has amazing sticking power so you'll be humming along in no time at all. Caught In Your Trap and I Found Out also sparkle but Can’t Control Myself is possibly the weakest and seems to drag along slightly.
However don’t be discouraged from an otherwise
spectacular album especially as it can currently be bagged for a measly £6.99 on the HMV website which is an incredibly insignificant price for such a significant band.
Summary: A fresh, quirky and uplifting sound.
