December 1, 2011Pajama Club “Pajama Club”
October 16, 2011Neil Finn is still around. You may remember him from Crowded House. Well, now only his wife can stand him, so they’ve made Pajama Club. If they sound upside-down, it’s because they’re in New Zealand.
Despite what you might think, this is a very modern-sounding act. They’ve got the indie club sound down, incorporating synths without sounding contrived on “Tell Me What You Want.”
“From a Friend to a Friend” has good backing vocals, although they don’t mix well when the guitar is going loudly at the same time. The components are all there, but they don’t add up right.
I enjoy “Daylight,” which despite plodding and deliberate beats has falsettos that would even make the Bee Gees blush. If you want to think of them as cool, you could make the same comparison with Fine Young Cannibals. Yes, that feels a little better.
“Dead Leg” has a little more noise, but it works well. This is what “From a Friend to a Friend” was trying to do. Another slower song that almost seems like a throwaway is “The Game We Love to Play.”
All in all, this may have been better as an EP to test the waters, but musicians sometimes want to share the world with their fans. Hopefully they’ll pick out the strong points and come out with a more balanced effort next time.
