Enjoying This New Imaginary People

March 28, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There’s something ultimately familiar about the new Imaginary People single; it’s something that perked my ears, thus encouraging me to share. Perhaps it’s the slight quiver in the vocal delivery or the hi-hat work from the percussion, but it all reminds me an awful lot of early Wolf Parade. I also appreciate that the band are employing all sorts of instrumentation to flesh out this tune, which illustrates a bit of daring in the recording process as they leap for the pop fences. Look for the release of October Alice from the band on April 28th via Five Five Diamonds.

Spiraling Rock From Imaginary People

January 26, 2017 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

Imaginary People are a five piece out of New York and they’ve got a song for you about ‘an incompetent politician,’ which honestly, seems to be a little too prevalent in our lives atthe moment. However, when I took a listen to “Mr. Hesitance,” I couldn’t help but dig the track– the vocals immediately strike you with their raw vibrato, but then the drums really kick in and you’re hooked.By the end of the song, the instruments take over and you get some slick solos to close out the tune. It’s a great track that reminds me a bit of The Twilight Sad, but slightly less heavy. Take a listen and get ready for the band’s upcoming sophomore LP,October Alice, which will be out April 28th.
