Asleep in the Park “Coming Home”

September 13, 2009

It’s a six-track EP with three songs and a live song that is surrounded by interludes. The band is definitely more Punky than Brewster, especially on “Coming Home.” “Precious Injury” has nothing to do with Gollum and a torn ACL. It sounds like a Metro Station song. You could really get the Generation Y chicks with this one.
“Nobody Wants” puts it all together. I really like this song a lot. The music reminds me of Blair Tefkin, although obviously a dude is singing. Despite all the keys and guitars, it’s not overwhelming.
“Interlude 1” is kind of cute with its sampling and whatnot. The live version of “Uncool” leans more to the band’s rock side than dance side. It’s amusing the two distinct sounds that this act has. “Interlude 2” sounds a lot like “Interlude 1.” Surely that’s not a coincidence.
