Sally
"The Attrition EP" CDEP
Self-released
Genres: indie rock
June 6 - 12 2005 |
The Attrition EP is the second release of Sally's that
I've heard, their most recent effort since their impressive self-titled
album. This time around, they've come up with a less
infectious songwriting style, but they've retained the dark, moody
sound that makes their music so addictive. Track one is the best tune on this disc; it is a grungy, enjoyable indie rock
romp with an very strong chorus. The third track also
has a very enjoyable, intense sound to it, while the loud/quiet
contrasts of track number four also stand out. I hear a wide
array of influences in this music, especially Radiohead and Nirvana.
Fortunately, however, it isn't all that derivative a sound; if
energetic, occasionally angsty indie rock is your thing, Sally
does not disappoint. 84%
