Album of the week Little Dreams by Enjoy Destroy
10:16am Friday 28th March 2008
Little Dreams by Enjoy Destroy. Released this week available at HMV and all good record stores Enjoy Destroy are a band that bathe their 11-track album in forceful melodies, with stand up and be counted lyrics and US West Coast sound. Right off the bat this is a CD to be reckoned with from the rolling drum intro on Mactier, to a guitar solo to die for in Cities. Little Dreams is the single with a fluffy intro that leads to a retro rock feel that blows you away. LBJ has a stonking, finger-picking guitar and machine gun drum meld while Hospital Bed has some pretty, lilting guitar with delicate vocals and a strong message: Seize the day. It also has a gorgeous blues guitar solo.This is not a rock band at war with itself, every instrument has its place and dovetails precisely with the others.
