Our Take

DAMS OF THE WEST's debut album "Youngish American" feels like a breath of fresh air in a stagnant music scene. With catchy hooks and clever lyrics, this record oozes charm and charisma.

Frontman Chris Tomson showcases his songwriting skills throughout the album, creating anthemic tracks that stick in your head long after the music stops. From the infectious opener "Bodies in the Sun" to the contemplative closer "Flag on the Can," Tomson's storytelling prowess shines through.

The band's sound is a delightful mix of indie rock and pop sensibilities, with nods to 80s and 90s influences sprinkled throughout. The production is slick and polished, allowing each instrument to shine without overpowering the vocals.

Standout tracks like "Tell the Truth" and "Polo Grounds" showcase the band's ability to craft catchy, memorable tunes that are sure to become fan favourites. With its infectious melodies and clever wordplay, "Youngish American" is a must-listen for fans of intelligent, well-crafted music.

Overall, DAMS OF THE WEST have delivered a solid debut album that showcases their talent and potential. With their unique sound and undeniable charm, this band is definitely one to watch in the music scene. So grab a copy of "Youngish American" and let this album soundtrack your summer.

About the artist

Dams of the West

Buckle up, music lovers, because we're about to dive into the madcap world of DAMS OF THE WEST, the solo project of Chris Tomson, best known as the drummer for indie rock darlings Vampire Weekend. With his debut album "Youngish American," Tomson swaps out his drumsticks for a guitar and a microphone, and the result is a delightfully offbeat concoction of catchy hooks and wry observations. Tomson's songwriting is refreshingly candid, tackling themes like self-discovery, love, and the absurdity of modern life with a healthy dose of wit and self-deprecation. Tracks like "The Inerrancy of You and Me" and "Tell the Truth" showcase his knack for crafting infectious melodies that will have you humming along for days. But don't be fooled by the off-kilter charm of DAMS OF THE WEST – beneath the quirky facade lies a musician with serious chops. Tomson's meticulous attention to detail shines through in the intricately layered arrangements and clever wordplay that define his sound. Whether you're a die-hard Vampire Weekend fan or a newcomer to Tomson's musical world, "Youngish American" is sure to enchant and surprise you in equal measure. So strap in, press play, and let DAMS OF THE WEST sweep you off your feet on a whirlwind musical journey like no other.
