Quiet Slang - Everything Matters But No One Is Listening
Review by Chadwick Floyd
Quiet Slang's Everything Matters But No One Is Listening is a captivating album that showcases the band's unique blend of indie rock and orchestral pop. The album features stripped-down versions of Beach Slang's songs, which are reimagined with a more delicate and dreamy sound.
The album opens with "Bad Art & Weirdo Ideas," a hauntingly beautiful track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song's soft piano melody and James Alex's ethereal vocals create a mesmerizing atmosphere that draws the listener in.
As the album progresses, tracks like "Future Mixtape for the Art Kids" and "Spin the Dial" showcase Quiet Slang's knack for crafting catchy and emotive songs. The addition of strings, horns, and other orchestral elements adds a layer of depth and richness to the music, making it feel more cinematic and grandiose.
Despite the album's melancholic tone, there are moments of hope and optimism that shine through, such as on the uplifting "Dirty Cigarettes" and the anthemic "Young Hearts." The album's closing track, "Androgynous," is a poignant cover of The Replacements' classic song that highlights the album's themes of self-discovery and acceptance.
