I had the prospect to catch Lucy on their latest world tour they usually have been every part I hoped they’d be: immensely proficient, very personable and chock-full of wonderful music. However even in that setting, I couldn’t assist however discover that their older materials hit hardest. Songs like Flare and Snooze have but to be bettered and the group’s more moderen materials generally is a blended bag.
New single Villain harnesses lots of Lucy’s strengths however continues to be stable quite than spectacular. The band have upped the power this time, giving the monitor a driving rock drive. This sound jogs my memory of presently common Japanese rock bands. You may simply think about Villain performing because the OST to a drama or anime. Sangyeop’s sturdy vocals inject character at each flip and the group’s enjoying is as tight as ever, however the busyness of Villain makes it troublesome for his or her distinctive charms to interrupt by. Add a sequence of vague melodies and you’ve got the sound of a band operating on momentum quite than pausing to craft one other basic.
