Our Take
Our Take
Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards' latest album, "Bitter Better," is a delightful rollercoaster of emotions that will have you questioning why you still pay for therapy. The album kicks off with the toe-tapping, feel-good track "The Low Hum," which sets the perfect tone for the rest of the record.
Cortese's angelic vocals soar over the intricate arrangements, courtesy of The Dance Cards, creating a sound that is both fresh and familiar. The band's ability to seamlessly blend genres, from folk to pop to Americana, is nothing short of impressive. It's like getting a musical tasting menu, but without the pretentious waiter explaining each dish.
Tracks like "Typhoon" and "Dreaming" showcase the band's ability to weave storytelling into their music, transporting listeners to another world. And just when you think you've got the album all figured out, they hit you with the unexpected yet oh-so-satisfying twist of "Tides," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that will leave you reaching for the tissues.
Overall, "Bitter Better" is a masterpiece that solidifies Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. So grab your headphones, pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, and let this album take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that!
