Goodbye Chanel - Foreva (Dead Young Records)

| Goodbye Chanel - Foreva |
I had to give this one a couple
of listens before I got it but I think I've finally sussed Leeds quintet
Goodbye Chanel out. This lead track off their forthcoming EP has a cacophony of
guitars running throughout it, chiming against each other and battling with
their identity as either ever-so-indie, dream pop or 80s guitar pop as being
played through a knackered walkman with no bass. I can see what the guys are
going for but they've almost over-egged it on 'Foreva' as the effects on
vocals, guitars and drums make the sound just that little bit too muddy and
washed out. Imagine eating a meal with, say, a strong flavour of cinnamon which
on first taste is quite refreshing but four spoons in and your utterly sick of
cinnamon - it's a little along those lines. Nevertheless, I'm intrigued to hear
the rest of the EP when it comes out and hope the blend of ingredients is a
touch more subtle.
