This review is from: Lovers, Lead the Way! / The Heat Can Melt Your Brain (MP3 Download)

Stumbled upon this band through pandora. I thumbed up one of their songs and would have left it at that until a collected some free MP3 downloads and went searching for someone new to listen to.

Anyway, these albums are true hidden gems. Viva Voce is one of those acts that sounds original and familiar at the same time. Their sound employs clean, well-textured soundscapes with smokey vocals that's chill and engaging at the same time, intermittently injected with rock melodies to lend some fun and energy- it would have been very easy to let the music slip into samey-ness but Viva has the foresight to develop hooks and mix-ups to keep things from sounding samey. Basically this is the type of music you feel proud to have experienced for yourself. Check 'em out- the 30 seconds samples don't do these folks justice!

Reccomended tracks: Lesson No. 1, The Lucky Ones, Wrecking Ball

This review is from: Lovers Lead Way / Heat Can Melt Your Brain (Audio CD)

I love the heat can melt your brain album, but due to availability I was unable to hear lovers lead the way. Both albums are great. I put them on while I cook or just need background tunes. Worth the buy.

Of this band, I now own 4 out of the apparently (look up Wikipedia for more) 5 albums they made. Here is a handy compilation of albums 2 and 3, padded out with a bunch of bonus tracks. Viva Voce are somewhere between So Tonight That I Might See, Darklands and And This Is Our Music, with a dash of Let It Come Down and a bit of folk (on CD 2) for good measure. I like what they do. A lot. Especially Get Yr Blood Sucked Out. Enjoy !
