Album Review: All We Are - All We Are

The self-titled debut album from this Liverpool-based trio is a tidy collection of fashionable-sounding songs that occasionally suggest substance beneath the veneer. The band members come from the disparate nations of Ireland, Norway and Brazil, but pull together impressively to produce the laconic grooves of Feel Safe and Keep Me Alive. Bassist Guro Gikling is a particularly neat asset to the band’s sound, as the interplay between her vocals and the boys’ singing lends the music a true feeling of connection. The band captures this sense only intermittently, but shows promise.
