Release Notes:
Dartz have a great melodic easy listening sound, and if that
isnę° descriptive enough imagine the raw-soft nature of
Idlewild, elements of the changing spikes of Biffy Clyro, a
good pinch of Death Cab for Cutie and a bit of Futureheads
(meaning that you can add a bit of a skip to your wailing).
Vocally they are softer than all these bands, the kind of
music that draws you into the inner world of your sofa and
sends you on a journey through the village of Alnerique
itself. The album is only eight tracks long but some how it
gets into your blood and yearns to be played over and over.
There is a touch of brilliance in their sound, the marching
beat of 'The Lay Of The Land' makes the listener feel like a
defiant revolutionary. Not all the tracks command this pace,
'Embers' is purely instrumental yet sits perfectly in the
listing, probably because there is a touch of melancholy in
the lyrics of 'The Sad History Of The Village Of Alnerique'.
Thankfully this does not lead to another dreaded terribly emo
album purely because of the pace which keeps up an upbeat
thread through-out although this is certainly not an album for
those looking for disco-punk. The best genre to place it in
would be post-punk emotive pop, it slips down comfortably yet
there is an underlying angst (have a listen to 'A New Venture
From Mordecai & Sons') which makes it endearing.
