Call Me Amour released their self titled EP on February 7.
The EP opens with some sick instrumentation in Happy Hell before scream vocals kick in. As the first chorus comes in, more melodic vocals take over and they are perfect for a rock song. The mixture between the cleans and screams works well. The bridge is quite repetitive with lines said twice but it has a melody that works to make it not annoying.
The vocals in Bloom are absolutely stunning. The clean vocals are so smooth with an almost R’N’B twang. The track features more electronica than the opener and it’s a nice variety.
One of my favourite lines comes in Good Day in “cut it out, cut it out, cut it out, cauterise the feeling”. It’s a great line which will work great with crowd engagement live.
The EP has some great guitar work throughout and breakdowns galore. It is also great lyrically with lines such as “why do the good ones die so young. How do we live with what we’ve done, I wanna know,” and “don’t let these people in, they’re running from themselves.” The entire lyrical content in Where’s The Chemistry? is incredibly catchy.
The guest appearances of Scott Kennedy on Bloom and Mikey Chapman on Good Day work well as their vocals fit in perfectly with the respective songs.
Call Me Amour have definitely got a strong EP here. It’s a fantastic listen and one that will definitely be sliding into my regular rotation now it’s released!
