Crystal Stilts - Precarious Stair

Review by Lori Verni-Fogarsi

The album Precarious Stair by Crystal Stilts has a unique and distinct sound that sets it apart from other indie rock albums. The band's use of reverb and echo effects, combined with the lead singer's haunting vocals, creates an atmosphere that is both ethereal and melancholic.

The album's opening track, "Spirit in Front of Me," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its dreamy guitar riffs and hypnotic beat. "Darken My Door" and "The Dazzled" showcase the band's ability to create catchy, melodic hooks that are both danceable and introspective.

The album's title track, "Precarious Stair," is a standout with its moody, atmospheric intro that builds into a driving rhythm. The lyrics, which explore themes of uncertainty and doubt, are delivered with a sense of urgency that adds to the song's emotional impact.
