5.0 out of 5 stars The Debut Album to Own!, May 22, 2007

By

These guys are amazing. I just picked this up based on a friend's recommendation and holy wow. By strategically avoiding all the pitfalls of what a first album can fall into, they do it masterfully. They also avoid the trends quite well, but delving into a very honed power pop rock sound that elevates your energy no matter what kind of mood you're in. However I get sad listening to it, because so much of the lyrics apply to situations going on in my life. But that's the reason I love it. It emotes me. It makes me feel the same thing. They're doing it with a meloncholy grace that in my opinion rivals the best Interpol song. They hail from Austin, Texas where if you don't know so many great and unique groups have come out of, here's a small list in case you're curious....

American Analog Set
At the Drive In
I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness
Explosions in the Sky
Spoon
Bedhead
The Black Angels
Murder City Devils

This is one of those albums that you will get through from start to finish and not skip a single track. It's unbelievably how perfected their sound is, that they've been working on it for a while and finally found where they belong on the soundscope. Get this if you enjoy Superdrag, Nada Surf or some of the best early nineties Brit Rock. Also I tend to never review anything that's less than five stars so if you read my reviews, you'll know this one's a winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best album I've bought in a long time, July 2, 2007

Fantastic indie pop. Some of the songs are instantly catching (like Firecracker, which I played almost non-stop for a day), and all the others without exception get better and better. Thoroughly recommended.

This has the ability to go mainstream, but hopefully it won't. For their first full-length album (released on the same record label that brings us the outstanding 'The National') Voxtrot doesn't disappoint. Hailing from Austin, they bring simple beautiful melodies, vocals, and (some) piano. A sound that might be compared to the likes of Death Cab, if thats your bag.
