Lost Trends – 'Buy the World' EP Review
Tracklisting
- La La (Lies)
- Takedown
- The Pop Song
- Buy The World
Opening
this brilliant EP is a song that sounds solidly like a track Kasabian
constructed whilst on drugs – rhythmic and repetitive guitar riffs persist
throughout together with distorted vocals and dynamic drum beats but there are
also traces of techno and an unexpected historical-sounding lecture on the
frequency of sound. The second track ‘Takedown’ is very similar and replicates
the same elements of the opening track yet ‘The Pop Song’ has clearer vocals,
presenting vocalist Stephen Green with an opportunity to demonstrate his choral
and lyrical talents. ‘Buy the World’ is much more unique as it edges away from
the funkier sounding theme of the whole EP and the guitar riffs are less
profuse which unfortunately gives the song a weaker sound and isolates it from
the more powerful tracks of the EP.
Overall
this EP is creative and unusual and the band have cleverly combined several
musical elements to ensure a wider variety of listeners and as a debut EP, this
should be very successful.
