Album Review: City Calm Down - Echoes In Blue

"Jack Bourke's baritone is so dreamy!"

More City Calm Down City Calm Down

Melbourne's City Calm Down are back with their second album and it doesn't disappoint.

Opener Joan, I'm Disappearing features soft synths and deep lyrics about neglecting a relationship to the point where it breaks down. Jack Bourke's baritone is so dreamy! The drum bursts in Distraction/Losing Sleep are killer while Pride brings out the '80s pop beats before the hypnotic synths in Echoes In Blue take over with Bourke's vocals once again steeped in emotion and taking each song to another level. Some of these songs start to sound the same, however, incorporating very similar beats.
