NYC’s +/- {Plus/Minus} delivers thirteen expertly crafted alt-rock tracks with close attention to creative, sometimes surprising, production techniques that nurture Let’s Build A Fire’s relentless energy and focus.
The opening track violently smashes from a crackling gramophone into a burst of horns, guitars, and drums, laying the foundation for a meticulously choreographed pop album that drifts somewhere between Death Cab For Cutie and Foo Fighters.
Let’s Build A Fire is a rich texture of melodic arrangements, often soulful lyrics, and a skillful blend of conventional and experimental instrumentation. The careful attention to production detail imbues further vivacity to songs that would still stand strong live and unrefined.
