An acid trip in the 70′s, that’s what I liken to listening to Deep Sea Arcade. While I’ve never taken the drug, they appear to have the same effects listening to their music, very dreamy yet with hard rock music qualities, this band is like the current Zombies. Somewhat in a daze, “Girls” is a high energy trip in itself, let’s just say if they were to make a music video to this song, I expect weird geometric shapes to float across the screen. But, these guys have talent, the guitar is so intricate that even on a first listen you are forced to hear the density and depth of the instrument, and what comes next is the dreamy, hazy higher voice of the lead singer that transports the music onto a whole other level. It’s a blend of music that shouldn’t work, but somehow these Aussie’s have captured the sun-filled afternoons on the beach and put it into a indie rock album.Opening for bands like Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Modest Mouse, this band is gaining attention, and for a good reason: they are eclectic and electric. Hand claps, 70′s guitar riffs, rhythmic drumming, this band takes the sound of Best Coast and blends it with Wye Oaks’ and it creates a higher energy, badass record. The album as a whole is a great debut record, while it will be interesting to see how they develop as a band, for now they have a great thing going. They have entered an indie scene that worships the likes of 60′s and 70′s musicians, and can appreciate the sound that Deep Sea Arcade has created. With eerie vocals and fuzzy melodies, Deep Sea Arcade should start making a splash in the States very soon
