Music reviews of All the Houses Look the Same
Music Review: An Astonishingly Good Debut
Rating: 4 Stars
Sometime in the last year or two the `emo' genre stopped being cool (I tried telling this to the kids at the local Hot Topic, but no...), and a whole score of bands either simply stopped making music or started calling themselves the new, improved and cool thing to be labeled as: Indie-rock. Right behind them came a new wave of bands (such as Copeland, Lovedrug, etc.) and though still influenced by the emo rockers, filled with a musical prowess that previous bands didn't possess. The Arkansas-bred musicians of Deas Vail fit into the latter group, with their new album All the Houses Look the Same, which boasts a huge sound with a piano-fueled sensibility that captures the imagination as well as the ear.
Frontman Wes Blaylock could very well be one of the best new vocalists in all of rock music, soaring above airy guitars and keys in a way that I thought only Copeland's Aaron Marsh was capable of (especially on the Mew-like "A Lover's Charm"). Backed by crunching guitars on tracks like the aggressive "Surfacing," and a simple yet effective piano-line on "Shoreline" Blaylock's voice soars through the roof and into the upper levels of the atmosphere.
Deas Vail's musical display shines the most when veering on the more melancholy side of the indie scene, especially on tracks like "Follow Sound," a five minute epic reminiscent of Coldplay. The band rarely falls into the trap of generic radio pop on All the Houses Look the Same, but even the tracks that do, such as "Anything You Say," or "Light as Air," only suffer from straying on the side of slightly more light-hearted pop.
However, musical maturity abounds that you don't usually expect on debut albums. Take "Shadows and City Lights," for example, a powerful tour-de-force with a deceiving intro that meanders slowly through moody keys and samples until the chorus, when hard-hitting guitars combine with a glockenspiel combine to create a powerful backgdrop as Blaylock sings of a hopeless relationship.A young band that capitalizes off of their influences with amazing ease, and a sound that is as interesting as it is accessible, Deas Vail seems poised for greatness. The future looks promising, and if their debut album is any indication, we'll be hearing more from this band--a lot more.
