December 5, 2008Sea Sick “Sea Sick”
December 3, 2008Sea Sick needs a dictionary to show that “seasick” is one word and a lead singer to show that good guitar and drums are not sufficient to make a quality three-piece.
The lead singer wails too much all the time. She thinks she is the lead singer of Sleater-Kinney. She is not. “Radiant Heat” is one of several examples on this seven-track monstrosity.
“Black Cat” is a great name, and she almost, ALMOST, sounds like Kristin Hersh here. I could only hope. It’s really a shame that the best track on the album is buried at the end where no one will hear it.
“XX” has an electronic feel to it and also is worth a listen. Everything else on the album, though, is the bad half of Bob Marley and the Wailers.
This is the kind of stuff they must have listened to in the ’60s, when everyone was so wacked out of their gourd that everything sounded like the Beatles. This is shitty, and there’s nothing clever about the name.
