Invisible
"The Invisibile EP" CDEP
Self-released
Genres: indie pop, folk-pop, acoustic pop
Oct 25 - 31 2004 |
This slim EP looks a lot like a clicky IDM release (or something by
Invisible Records), but in actuality it's the work of a lush,
sensitive indie pop trio. They craft meandering, hopeful tunes
that combine elements of L'altra, Pinback, and perhaps
even a bit of Mercury Rev. "Shall the Content"
and "Sweet Love" are both exemplary of the average Invisible
song - light percussion, warm guitars, and positive but unobtrusive
vocals are effortlessly combined to create a sweet and joyful pop
concoction. The Pinback influence and wonderful "la
la la" chorus of "Shall the Content" makes it the EP's
best song. "Calia" and the partially
electronic "A Yellow Jacket" are solid instrumentals that
rely on louder guitars and pleasant strings. The lengthy
"Faults By Which," which boasts some serious Windsor For
The Derby similarities (The Emotional Rescue EP), is also a
highlight - stationed nicely as the EP's closing song.
