Our Take
Our Take
London-based band UNREAL CITY have landed on our shores with their debut album "Cruelty Of Heaven," and oh boy, is it a rollercoaster of emotions and musicality. From the first track to the last, this record takes you on a journey that is both exhilarating and, well, cruel.
The opening track "Lost in The Echoes" sets the stage for what is to come, with its haunting vocals and driving guitar riffs that immediately draw you in. The band effortlessly blends elements of post-punk, shoegaze, and alternative rock to create a sound that is uniquely their own.
Lead singer Ellie Smith's vocals are both ethereal and powerhouse, taking you from delicate whispers to belting choruses in a matter of seconds. The lyrics are equally as captivating, with themes of love, loss, and everything in between woven throughout the album.
Tracks like "Ghost in the Machine" and "City Of Dreams" showcase the band's ability to create immersive soundscapes that transport you to another world. The production is slick and polished, courtesy of renowned producer Will Stevens, giving the album a professional sheen that is hard to come by in debut records.
Overall, "Cruelty Of Heaven" is a triumph for UNREAL CITY, showcasing their creativity, talent, and passion for music. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to the band, this album is sure to leave you wanting more. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
