Deathcrash released new album Somersaults on February 27 through untitled (recs).
The titular track opens the record with a calming melody and a sort of spoken-sung vocal delivery. In all honesty, it didn’t grab me fully but it’s not a bad song. Lyrically it’s quite cool, reminiscing about childhoods, missing people and being shy.
CMC is a decent song, the acoustic guitar and soft vocals talking about how this life is the best life, and encouraging people to try out new ideas is quite nice.
The vocal delivery is quite monotone throughout and there’s moments where some of the songs blend in together which is usually something that does put me off an album. I assume it’s part of the sound but in tracks like Stay Forever, the vocal delivery sounds like they’d rather be anywhere than recording.
The album has quite an indie feel and while it’s not a bad record, it’s not the type of album I usually listen to.
I do quite enjoy the relatability of the lyrics throughout the album though, talking about family, not missing people, and overall being vulnerable. I just wish I was more into the style of music.
