"Stereomovers EP" (2006) - Music Review


Lazy Sunday afternoon with the laptop and into hunting for some different and interesting music on iTunes led me to the “Stereomovers”. With millions of bands in the ocean of current music industry, any debutants should really make an impressive start to pursue and sustain successfully. The industry has witnessed so many one hit bands disappear without any signs of relapse. Having said that, “Stereomovers” comprised of Alexandre Dionne and Simon Roy, makes an impressive debut to say the least. They are novel, different and most importantly have their own style in the creation of their music.

Ozean

Synthesizing keyboard and mystical chords of this song stamps itself the pick of note in this EP. The initial thirty seconds of this song marks this band’s entry into the new genre of music. The vocals blend in stealth mode and emerge as a soothing melody leading the whole instruments along with it. The grand opening has been done with perfection.

Waiting

Just as you are about to brand it a routine song of this genre, it takes the shift of giving you the top of the notch rhythm tone. Special mention to the vocals of Alexandre which is soothing and yet a rock shredding throat. The theme of the song fits the tune to give the listener the feeling of a “crowd of people” waiting for something.

Love is

Another club oriented mix preface leading to a solid beat and techno tinkling produces a different love song. Many of the forthcoming DJs in the club are going to mix it and will be a major dance floor hit.

Picture of you

Distorted emergence of Guitar plucking, with the start of heart thudding drums, branded “Stereomovers” all over the song, is what by now has tailored into the minds of the listeners. Even though the start promises a lot, it does not satisfy the hunger it had created. As a relative comparison, this song did not make the impression as the rest of other numbers in this EP.

Watch out for these guys, they are out and are rocking big time.
