Brisbane trio Sweater Curse have consistently made waves across Queensland and the rest of Australia since their formation. With their debut EP, See You, they prove they’re a power within the ‘90s mope-rock revival.
Opening with Can’t See You Anymore, the band immediately begin pulling on the heartstrings. Then, to a barrage of tremolo-bar slams and string pulls, comes Take Some Time. Each part of the track feels equal – whether it’s Chris Langenberg’s guitar prowess and occasional harmonies, the backing of Rei Bingham’s drums or Monica Sottile’s emotional vocals.
Z9 comes in aggressively with all three members attacking at a faster tempo, Langenberg now taking the vocal reins. The six-track EP ends with Ponyo, once again drawing out the very best of the band. For a debut EP, it’s a grand piece from the Brisbane band, and the only way they can go from here is further up.
