Genre/Influences: Indie-rock, rock-pop.
Background/Info:
This self-titled album is the second opus for the French formation
Vanished Souls. The band is already active for a couple of years now and has
released a debut album “Cities R Real” plus a few EP’s. This album was
originally released in France in 2018 and in Belgium in 2019.
Content:
The
opening cut sounds pretty evasive creating a kind of rock-ballad effect. Quite
progressively the songs are moving into indie-rock music where the guitar play
has an important role. The choruses have something carrying while the singer’s
high timbre of voice appears to be one of the main characteristics of this
band.
+ + + :
“Vanished Souls” clearly appears to be the result from a great production
process. The sound is very professional. Most of the songs feature great choruses.
The previously released single “You’re Not Alone” remains a cool song, but the
potential hit appears to be “Nauseous”. This song has something powerful and
yet accomplished with melodic arrangements. Other attention grabbers are “3:42
(Extended)” and “Shame”, which both are pretty indie like. I also have to
mention the somewhat harder “Am Your Shadow” reminding me to Public
Enemy.
– – – :
I’m not
into the softer passages of the work, which have something monotonous.
Conclusion:
Vanished
Souls composes easy listening music revealing several enjoyable songs, but
maybe not an absolute hit.
Best songs:
“Nauseous”, “My ROM”, “Shame”, “3:42 (Extended)”.
