Time for
another Manchester band! Today it is Pop/Rock duo Words & Noises.
The first
thing that I noticed on listening is that I had already heard "Forget Me
Not", having checked it out when the band released a link to the video. It
had been a while, but I instantly recognized the catchy tune.
While
"Forget Me Not" is probably their most pop sound, it is not the sound
that I most associate with them after listening to the catalog multiple times. There
is more of a tendency toward the intellectual and cerebral, like "The Lost
Art of Conversation", and even the mournful, like "Love Is A Loaded
Gun."
Those ended
up leaving strong impressions, while tracks like "Beating Heart" and
"Londinium" sped up and left completely different feelings, and
"Deceive" brought in some groove. For all of that, the voice came
through very clearly. This is a band that thinks about different things and is
interested in different things, but still has a strong sense of self.
There are
not currently any upcoming shows listed, but there will be a new single
released on April 26th, available to press, radio, and Soundcloud.
