At times it feels like the beginning – a new day, a fresh start. At other times it feels unbearably like the end. An achingly beautiful album.
Music
Endsightt plays around with structure as if he were crafting an independent film right there in front of you. It’s impossible not to hang on every moment.
The all important ideas of an optimist, a hard working, motivated songwriter hoping to inspire similar feelings of being unstoppable in all who listen.
Skilfully chasing these varying emotions with a flawless vocal stream of notes, always offering some poetic reflection of the inner turmoil of being human.
It’s art for the artist, first & foremost, but experience, knowledge & skill of how music works has led to a fresh yet entirely accessible collection.
The variation in subject matter underlines consistently that Danny Everitt is a songwriter, first & foremost – it’s endearing & very easy to connect with.
A short yet intense & varied collection of incredible songs. The sound of the band alone is enough to incite a desire to see them play live.
The thickness of rock, the melodic satisfaction of Americana, the emotional rawness of folk, and the sheer style & character of a brand new band.
Far from formulaic, these songs appear as a passionate stream of consciousness, a jam, a collective pursuit of creative freedom & therapeutic expression.
The song takes advantage of the entire musical structure of songwriting, utilising each moment to imprint ideas & a certain mood onto those who hear it.
Your experience will dictate the way it affects you; that’s how real art works. That’s what Alien Skin gives us, time & time again. This album is stunning.
A compelling visual journey that again reinforces the realness & grit that The Valium so effectively & stylishly encapsulate within their songs.
