Our Take

Album Review: WHEN MARY Tainted

In the ever-evolving landscape of indie music, WHEN MARY has always stood out as a band that marches to the beat of their own drum - quite literally, as their drummer has a penchant for using kitchen utensils instead of traditional sticks. Their latest album, "Tainted," is a cacophony of eclectic sounds and influences that somehow come together to form a cohesive and captivating listening experience.

From the opening track, "Toxic Love Affair," which combines haunting vocals with frenetic guitar riffs, to the closing ballad, "Fade to Grey," WHEN MARY takes the listener on a rollercoaster of emotions. The standout track, "Panic Button," is a frenzied ode to existential dread, with lyrics that are both poignant and absurd.

Throughout the album, the band showcases their versatility, seamlessly blending elements of post-punk, electro-pop, and even a hint of jazz fusion. This musical mishmash might sound chaotic on paper, but in the hands of WHEN MARY, it works like a charm.

"Tainted" is not without its flaws - some tracks feel a bit too experimental for their own good, and the production can be a bit muddy at times. But these minor quibbles are easily overshadowed by the sheer creativity and energy that WHEN MARY brings to the table.

In conclusion, "Tainted" is a bold and brazen statement from a band that refuses to be pigeonholed. Whether you're a die-hard WHEN MARY fan or a newcomer to their music, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.
