William - Self in Fiction

The first track starts promisingly enough…then almost instantly takes a detour into pub rock territory. The singers voice is…well, lets just say, to call him a singer is a charitable act. I’m not entirely sure if he means it or if its all some kind of obscure parody. Second tracks almost exactly the same – as I write this I’m not sure if I’ll be able to listen to the whole album.

Really this album sounds like its been produced by a band that wants to be anarchic and dangerous but at the same time doesn’t want to offend their mums. There are hints throughout that there’s something manic, untamed and perhaps (dare I say it) interesting behind them but it’s chained to bland convention.

As Mr Miyagi once said “Walk on road, hm? Walk left side, safe. Walk right side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later” [makes squish gesture]

William need to decide which side of the road they’re walking on

Its not bad, apart from the vocals, it’s by no means unrelentingly terrible but there’s not really much to recommend it.

Bland of the year.
(I did listen to the whole thing in the end)

Self in Fiction is released on 7th July.
