Artist- The Gay Blades
Album- Savages
Label- Triple Crown
The Gay Blades’ sophomore album (terrible band name, by the way) finds the duo abandoning their more raw sound in favor of something a little too polished. The album was produced by whoever does the Hold Steady albums, which is lame. Singer James DeanWells (ha.) tries too hard to be theatrical (the obnoxious piano crashes invite Freddie Mercury comparisons, except worse). Back when the Gay Blades were lo-fi, their trashiness sounded awesome and energetic. Now, with this cleaned-up more mainstream sound, it just sounds like emo-tinged theatrical Scissor Sisters.
