Pretty EP [ CD / Album ]

The Age of Electric's "Pretty EP" is a delightful romp through the whimsical world of power pop, with just the right amount of edge to keep things interesting. From the infectious hooks of "Keys" to the anthemic chorus of "Pretty" the album is a masterclass in crafting catchy, yet clever tunes. Lead vocalist Todd Kerns' vocals soar and slide effortlessly over the crunchy guitars and punchy drums, creating a sound that is at once nostalgic and fresh. The band's tight musicianship and infectious energy make each track feel like a party you never want to end. However, there are moments where the EP veers a little too close to generic pop-rock territory, with some tracks feeling a tad formulaic. But just when you start to feel like you've heard it all before, The Age of Electric throw in a curveball like the quirky synth in "Pretty" that keeps you on your toes. Overall, "Pretty EP" is a solid offering from a band that knows their way around a hook. While it may not reinvent the wheel, it's a feel-good collection of songs that will have you tapping your foot and singing along in no time. So go ahead, crank up the volume and let The Age of Electric take you on a musical joyride you won't soon forget.
