More instrumental rock from Ireland’s shores here. The band is Overhead, The Albatross and surprisingly, The Richter Collective is nowhere in sight. The debut EP was released on Bandcamp. Entitled Lads With Sticks, the four tracks sound like Sigur Ros with added vigour. Indeed, for a good portion of opening track ‘Jonah’, the Dublin four-piece do a very good impression of the the Scandinavians. Then at the three minute mark they up the ante. Things don’t get quite as heavy as And So I Watch You From Afar’s heaviest moments such as ‘Clench Fists…‘ but think of ‘Start A Band‘ and ‘The Voiceless‘ and you get a bit closer to where Overhead, The Albatross are coming from. -thepointofeverything
