For this Canterbury four piece, it’s been two
years of creating singles, EP’s and collaborating on split 12” but now they’ve
finally released a full length album. Moose Blood have always had that emo-rock
sound and with their new album they’ve perfected it, producing a new generation
of British punk.
‘I’ll
Keep You In Mind, From Time To Time’ is a heartfelt, emotional album full of
lyrics about love, life and loss. Going hand in hand with these covert and
melancholy lyrics are the warm and solace sounds of, lead singer, Eddy
Brewerton’s voice.
The
album kicks off with the poignant ballad “Cherry” which interlaces dreamy
vocals with melodic riffs. The juxtaposed combination gives the song a certain idiosyncratic
personality that gives off a sorrowful and charming aura.
The
album them moves to “Anyway”, one of the more upbeat singles on the new release,
still including those hazy vocals but over heavier riffs and bass drums.
“Anyway” displays Moose Blood’s heavier punk influences such as Brand New and
Balance & Composure.
The
bands popular song “Bukowski” makes a pleasant appearance on the album, you can
tell this is some of their older original music. It’s much more upbeat and
contended. The twinkly guitars and simple drum beats lend a more pop-punk vibe.
Even
with older and new work on the album, Moose Blood have successfully shown fans
their punk influences and added their own unique twist on them. ‘I’ll Keep You
In Mind, From Time To Time’ has been sculpted into a pure work of art. It’s
truly beautiful.
