Synopsis

Album Description

Four new songs of reinvention tinged with underlying familiarity. Combining segues of instrumentation and melody that crescendo into beautiful harmony, the opening track is an instant classic and sets an apt tone for "All Day". Track two leans heavily on vocal harmonies and is adorned by a brief acoustic guitar solo. Track three takes a minimalist approach as a bare piano track accompanies alternated vocals before subdued drumming and vocal harmonies take over. The most widely talked about song, however, is the last one, a startling cover of David Bowie's "Starman".

(4 out of 5 stars)

"What attracted me to this band was the overwhelming fan adoration of their live performances. I just became so curious I had to check them out. This album feels a little more produced than "Team Boo", the only other MOS album I've heard thus far. But I don't consider that a bad thing. These 4 songs are beautiful, swirling happy up-tempo ballads. I defy you to listen to this EP and not have a smile on your face by the end! I've always loved the original "Starman" and yet I appreciate their upbeat rendition of a song that always kind of bummed me out (in a good way, mind you). Now excuse me while I listen to "All Day" yet again..."
