Sons & Daughters

Add Date: July 12 

Artist: Sons & Daughters 

Album: Mirror Mirror 

Label: Domino 

Genre: Rock 

Comments: Glasgow band Sons & Daughters have followed up their dense, busy guitar rock of 2008's This Gift with an album that's sure to please their indie rock fanbase while also expanding their appeal. By stripping back their sound, abandoning some of their signature "full on punk-rock guitar", and introducing some electronica to their feel, the band is able to delve into some dark material ("Ink Free" sings about a model's suicide) while keeping their dream-rock tone. It's an odd combination, but it's a good one.

Tracks 1, 3, 4 and 7 are keepers.
