Our Take

The Deathray Davies' latest offering, "The Kick And The Snare," is a delightful romp through the eccentric world of indie rock. With their signature blend of catchy hooks and off-kilter lyrics, the band serves up a cocktail of infectious melodies and tongue-in-cheek humor that is sure to leave you tapping your foot and chuckling at the same time.

From the opening track, "Populuxe," to the closing ballad, "Sunlight (Don’t Stop)”, The Deathray Davies effortlessly blend power pop, punk, and a touch of ska to create a sound that is as unique as it is addictive. Lead singer John Dufilho's distinctive vocals give the songs a whimsical edge, while the tight rhythm section of Mike Middleton and Jason Garner keeps the energy levels high throughout the album.

Standout tracks like "The Girl with the Robot Arm" and "My Sister’s Getting Married” showcase the band's knack for blending catchy melodies with darkly humorous lyrics, while more introspective tracks like “Broken Clocks” and “Goodnight to the Year” reveal a more vulnerable side to the band's songwriting.

Overall, "The Kick And The Snare" is a testament to The Deathray Davies' ability to keep things fresh and exciting while staying true to their quirky, lo-fi roots. It's the perfect soundtrack for a night of dancing, laughing, and maybe even shedding a tear or two. So grab a drink, turn up the volume, and let The Deathray Davies take you on a wild and wonderful musical journey.
