Ok - so its all a bit too guitary for my liking ...I mean I get what they are trying to do, but a little more light and shade would be good.

Im tempted to think this has been recorded, mixed and mastered at the same place by the same people,?...If that is the case, then Id say the whole album lacks some punch that a Pro mastering engineer might add, for me its not radio ready.

Thats only my opinion of course...which counts for very little, and I have to say Hats off to anyone that manages to actually get through to producing an album of original songs ;-)

Thanks for giving it a listen   
Don't know much about the production but will pass on your comments. I'm sure they will be much appreciated. 

Tbh it's not exactly my cup of tea. The band hasn't been together very long (few years now) so quite impressive from that point of view though.

Quite cool actually. I liked Radio Ostalgia a lot. 
Sounds like it's one take vocals. The singer should maybe really hone in the vocal lines.

They are Scottish right? I like it.

EDIT: Helsinki bah. He sounds like a Scot

The arrangements are too representative of a 'live sound'. Some pace and space would have been nice and a few more instrumentation sounds would be good. Sounds Sebadohey to  me. I like it!

Cool, thanks for giving them a go. I'll pass on your comments. 

My mate (guitar) is Scottish! I can't remember where the rest are from. Think they are British and Australian. So could well be.

It pains me to hear music that will just dissolve into the mush on the streaming sites. It won't be heard in it's entirety in the correct order. It won't be heard at all in truth. Music deserves to be physical if it's any good and this is.

Just noticed they did! limited vinyl available. Good on them.

It's a shame isn't it. Suppose that's the way of things. So much music so little time!
Glad I could help you find this.
