The Crimea - Square Moon
Review by Halona Lewis
Crimea's Square Moon album is a captivating and atmospheric work of art that showcases the band's unique style and musical talent. From the very first track, listeners are transported to a dreamlike world filled with haunting melodies, intricate arrangements, and emotive vocals.
The album's standout tracks include "Lottery Winners On Acid," a catchy and upbeat tune that perfectly captures the band's quirky sense of humor, and "Bombay Sapphire Coma," a haunting ballad that showcases lead singer Davey MacManus' soulful vocals.
Throughout the album, Crimea's music is both introspective and thought-provoking, exploring themes of love, loss, and the human condition. The band's use of electronic and acoustic instruments creates a rich and layered sound that draws listeners in and keeps them engaged from start to finish.
