One of the most anticipated albums of 2015
unexpectedly comes from a local Berkshire
band, Hindsights. With their first full-length
record Cold Walls/Cloudy Eyes, the
four-piece band have traveled a long way with this new release, exposing all of
their hard work into one beautifully composed 10-track record.
With clear influences of Brand
New, Hindsights have modified their sound into ‘Everything Inside Me Echoed’,
easing us into their graduated tune. Alongside similar tones as Balance and
Composure, the quartet have captured an mesmerising track that triggers your
brain into pleading for more sounds.
With two equally as grasping
tracks, ‘Pensive’ and ‘Out Of My Skull’ both produce a captivating interlude
that builds up a slow wave of tension, setting you in the right frame before
the vocals are added. Both tracks blast an upbeat chorus that is packed with
lively spirits that are earnestly hooking.
The band have structured Cold Walls/Cloudy Eyes evenly, each track compliments the next, allowing you to absorb all the
tiny details they have uncovered.
Hindsights have revamped treasured sounds and
nostalgic feelings within the record by adding a modern twist to each track,
marking their unique sent.
To keep your spirits up and
bouncing ‘Cold walls’ takes an animated impression to your ears as its lively
beat fill the room with high hopes and delightful sounds. Vocally, this track
displays the bands great strength with strained vocals that are powerful with
every lyric, it’s fair to say that the small band have created quite a
masterpiece for themselves.
This constant juxtaposition
in rhythm is found within the overall album, gradually changing within the
atmosphere created for maximum affect.
Progressing to the latter
end of the record, ‘Cloudy Eyes’ introduces a once familiar guitar intro that
holds unity. Plastered with yet another chilling aura, the track does bring a
sense of relaxation whilst vocally dominating, the song is backed up by the
strengthening guitar riffs, hitting you in the face. Matched by ‘Sore’, which
is the perfect ending track, Hindsights have managed to keep the blood pumping in
your veins for you to leave the room feeling revived.
Building onto their grand
finale the edgy rock track is prolonged in length, however this is soon
forgotten with their captivating trance luring you in.
Cold
Walls/Cloudy Eyes excites us to the many
wonderful sounds that Hindsights have produced, marking it to be a strong point
in their early career.
8/10
