Add Date: March 30
Artist: Mainly Lanes
Album: Oomami
Label: Unsigned
Genre: Alternative Rock?
Comments: First of all, let's talk about this band's name. "Mainly Lanes" actually hints at the last name of three out of the five members of the band, which is Lane. That's pretty clever, I guess. Second, what's up with this Oomami, you might wonder. Wikipedia has kind of failed me this time, the closest thing it found was Umami, or "popularly referred to as savoriness". Hm. That doesn't tell me much. Now down to serious business. I don't know what I think about this album. In my opinion, it doesn't start off very strongly at all, but it gets better later on. It's a nice mix of Tori Amos-ness with some Neko Case influences perhaps and the sound is altogether pleasant, let's just say. But some songs just seem kind of out of tune to me. I particularly liked "So Sad" and "Monks and Crossbones."
