Don’t let the opening track put you off. This album is good. Dead good. Full of mesmerising, up beat songs, with syncopated guitar chords, off beat drumming and deep throaty vocals from lead singer Jesse A Davis, Death Of Fashion are new yet old at the same time.
The band come from Indiana USA and formed back in 2002. ‘Hello Movement’ is their second studio album and sounds like it should have been released back in the 70s. The group have been inspired by bands such as The Velvet Underground, Roxy Music and Brain Eno, and this vintage rock sound, coupled with absolutely cracking tunes, such as poppy ‘Smoke And Mirrors’ or ‘These
Days’ (a song which sounds like it should’ve been released by The Strokes instead), make ‘Hello Movement’ an album that’s definitely worth repeated listens.
