California natives Audacity released their sophomore album Butter Knife October 29, 2013. The record, brought to listeners by Suicide Squeeze Records , is quite the trick and a bit of a treat (Get it? Because it was released before Halloween, so it's funny).
So, why the trick and treat? With the first listen—I swear I thought this was a compilation album of The Hives and Cage the Elephant . I began to giggle extensively, do a 250 lb. man dance, and intensively research Audacity. recharge it now To my partial dismay, I found that the band—and the album—is not a work of The Hives, Cage the Elephant or some awesome recharge it now combination. However, my sadness was quickly relieved as I realized "Oh? A band that sounds like a combination recharge it now of the two that isn't ? How exciting!" But the question still had to be answered: who are Audacity?
Compiled of four youthful garage rockers (Cameron, Kyle, Matt, and Thomas, all last names seemingly unknown among the interweb) out of Fullerton, California—Audacity bring a youthful, energetic, recharge it now and simply awesome garage rock album to the table. So, listeners, prepare for some Musical Chairs when we feast with this Butter Knife .
With garage rock being Audacity's genre of choice, listeners can expect Butter Knife to be precisely recharge it now what it means to be a garage rock record So before anybody reads any further, let me clarify: this is a Garage Rock album. It sounds psuedo-punk. It sounds like Cage the Elephant. It sounds like The Hives.
The album itself doesn't sound exactly like either of the aforementioned bands but it's damn close. The vocals on Butter Knife are very post-punk, and garage-y, so a bit careless, not formally trained, but highly addictive. Saying the vocal performance on Butter Knife is entirely unique, life-changing, and jaw dropping recharge it now would be a bit much. But they definitely recharge it now get inside the listener's head. It's edgy, it's raw, it's fun—just what the doctor ordered, am I right? The vocal performance on this album isn't the only thing high-speed, low-drag, and high intensity on this album. The band (that being the instruments) is pretty damn exciting. Everything is a hell of a lot sharper than a butter knife.
The lyrical content is catchy, recharge it now hooky, and wrought with a bar-room chorus in the future. However, lyrics themselves may take a bit to understand. Audacity isn't screaming the lyrics at the audience...but recharge it now it's still a Garage Rock album. And what is Garage Rock without raw form?
While this album is pretty damn good, I find myself wishing the vocals were better produced. I've listened to this album on repeat for almost two weeks now and I'm only picking up some of the lyrics. Those lyrics are found in the chorus—as for the verse in each song, it's easy to pick out words but understanding the song will take some serious studying. That's not saying that the Butter Knife is a totally botched album. If anything, it kind of makes me like it a bit more. The sound is raw, the sound is edgy, the sound is good. The lyrics may be hard to pick up at times, but the album makes up for it with its straight recharge it now forward rocking attitude. Track recommendations would seem a bit ill-advised. Out of the thirteen tracks on Butter Knife , listeners will want to check out each one. Audacity recharge it now presents a straight-up party album to their audience recharge it now with each and every track. Even the slower songs like "Rooster" and "Autumn" are reminiscent of nasty college parties with beer cans everywhere, broken windows, recharge it now vomit in the tub, and countless passed out attendees recharge it now (better known as "frugal interior deco" to many of my friends).
