Our Take

PATTI SMITH GROUP's "Easter" is the musical equivalent of stumbling upon a hidden gem in a crowded record store - unexpected, but oh so worth it. With Smith's iconic poetic lyrics and distinctive voice leading the charge, this album is a whirlwind of rock 'n' roll energy and punk attitude.

From the anthemic "Because the Night" to the haunting "Babelogue/Rock n Roll N****r", each track on "Easter" is a testament to Smith's raw talent and fearless stage presence. The album showcases the band's versatility, seamlessly blending punk, rock, and even a touch of jazz to create a sound that is uniquely their own.

The standout track, "Ghost Dance", is a mesmerising journey through Smith's innermost thoughts and emotions, set against a backdrop of pulsating drums and wailing guitars. It's a hauntingly beautiful ode to the struggles of the human experience, and a testament to Smith's ability to connect with her audience on a deep, emotional level.

Overall, "Easter" is a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their horizons and dive into the world of punk rock. PATTI SMITH GROUP's fearless spirit and unapologetic approach to music make this album a timeless classic that will continue to inspire generations to come.
