Are You A Lion – Are You A Lion

Releasedate: 18-11-2011; Label: Goomah Music
By: Milla Smile

The indie four-piece band from the eastern side of Netherlands will be release their first self-titled album this November. The singer has success with another Dutch indie band “Cafebar 401” realized two full-length albums, other members are newborn stars on the music sky.

Inspired by Neil Young, Bob Dylan and dozens of different indie bands the awkward and absolutely colorless boys have thrown their emotion into music. Music in the shades of gray: too sensitive, soft, dreamy. Besides there is no hesitation to picture the most wonderful landscapes in the sunset. The wide fields, gentle wind and the last sunbeams. The whole picture puts melancholic smile on the face and gives a hope for the perfect world. The melodies and riffs are raw but all the edges softly smooth. The sound is quite more rough than cruel. The best section is the drums beating out all the misgivings and changing tempos like the horses racing. The brightest track for my own is “Rich beyond belief”. About human’s greed. No-one’s perfect.

Recommend for the souls which still finding their own way.
