We Landed on the Moon

Add Date: October 19 

Artist: We Landed on the Moon 

Album: This Will Be One for the Books 

Label: Self-released 

Genre: Rock 

Comments: We Landed on the Moon has the energy of The Strokes, female-vocal confidence of Jenny Lewis, and a catchiness similar to that of Grizzly Bear. The promo sheet praises the band for primarily being the catchiest thing around... but I wouldn't say pop music is their forte. Rather, I would love to see this group to watch the drummer go nuts; This Will Be One for the Books is packed full of energy bursts. Throughout the mix, the guitars are a little too loud, forcing an over-the-top post-rock, pop feel into the songs that wouldn't play as prominent a role if someone else had mixed the record. Lead singer Melissa Eccles can belt some notes, and despite sounding a little cliche at times, seems to be the perfect fit for the music this group is making.

Start with 2, 4, and 6.
