That being said, Divorcee does what they are doing well: the lyrics and melodies are catchy and enjoyable. The vocals are clear and well done and The Divorcee make appropriate choices when considering what instruments to use in each song. There is a certain grace and methodology that they have used when putting together this album, and I think that it is something that perhaps people who are just getting into indie music, and don’t like things that are too ‘far out’ would really enjoy. The music is easy to like because they don’t really take any chances and I think a huge amount of people would find this album to be really good.
One of the two songs that stuck out for me was “Blow Me”. Not only did I find the title humorous, but also it is also the hardest rock song on the album. The guitars on this track really stand out, as opposed to the vocal, which seems to be the center of most of the other songs on this record. It’s a nice change from the rest of the album. Perhaps they are took a risk with this track.
The other song that I noticed was “Still Life”, its intro is beautiful and consists of lovely piano and guitar. It grows harder and faster but still the vocals maintain a vulnerability that fit the lyrics so nicely that it is hard to not find this song captivating.
Despite the fact that Divorcee does not take chances, and has produced a safe album that sounds like early Oasis, it still shows their potential as musicians and hopefully on the next record they take some more risks and produce something a bit more fresh to go along with the talent that they obviously have.
