 Where
The Spoken Play
Self-titled demo
Self-released
Genres: indie rock, indie pop
Jan 10 - 16 2005 |
Where The Spoken Play aren't much for elaboration. Their
website is brief and simple, their demo's liner notes are minimal
(albeit convoluted), and their CDR only features four songs. But
that's all perfectly acceptable when you've got a unique sound like
this. WTSP are obviously working with limited production
values on this disc, but they don't seem to suffer at all. Their
genre isn't really lo-fi; all in all, they have a familiar indie rock
sound not far off from Clinic and Interpol at times
("TB," "A Night.") While I'm not ready to
put WTSP into constant rotation, I do quite like this
demo. The band isn't quite there yet - they could use a bit of
songwriting practice and some higher recording standards - but they
reek of potential and a keen indie rock sound. 75%
