Album Review: Stone Clocks - Knives Out

Stephanie Tell

"Clichéd and problematic psychosexual issues aside, an original story would serve them better."



Though opener Chasing Tail embarks on a clean, wandering melody, its delicate guitar and basslines are challenged by underlying sloppiness. Frontman Adam Connor's vocals recall that overused '90s penchant for a dirty/clean rock sound, whereas a gruffer style would inject spirit into this offering. While lyrics generally tend toward boring, Elisa Day is a bizarre tribute to Where The Wild Roses Grow, except in this version, Elisa Day “was not a rose, she was a call girl”.  Clichéd and problematic psychosexual issues aside, an original story would serve them better. They play Thornbury Theatre on 26 Apr.
