Album Review: On An On - And The Wave Has Two Sides

StarStarHalf Star

"Unfortunately the album feels disappointing."

The Minneapolis three-piece deliver an interesting second album, the storyline setting the mood as it goes through their feelings of loneliness, loss and love, giving it a joyless sound.

The upbeat Alright Alright stands out, while Icon Love is a simple serenade. Nate Eiesland and Alissa Ricci's voices intertwine beautifully in Secret Drone, before getting lost in the rest of the tracks. Unfortunately the album feels disappointing — it could have been something if it wasn't so lost in the constant mellow sound that, at times, make the songs sound the same.
