The Scottish roots of the Dead Sea Souls are evident in their debut album We Were Always Electric: irresistible, charming and vibrant. The instant hook of their intro track is enough to get your toes tapping and ears listening, awaiting the vocals to kick in but totally content with just the instruments.
Upbeat and with a slight hint of ska in the jagged guitar riffs, single ‘Trendsetter’ is a sure-fire hit. What’s more, the energy of the track in fun. ‘You wouldn’t know one if it smacked you in the face my friend’ as just one of the brilliantly blunt but charismatically sung lyrics. The rolling ‘r’s’ of the Scottish drawling vocals are perfect, adding something different to the band.
Highlight ‘My Problem’ demonstrates this in all its glory. When you listen you can imagine exactly what the band would be like live, idea for summer festivals of gigs that brighten those winter days.
Their tracks are tunes you can dance to, at a gig or in your room – depending on your preference. With a quicker paced rhythm than the likes of Twin Atlantic, this idiosyncrasy gives the band an advantage that should see them go far.
