Husband

Add Date: December 6 

Artist: Husband 

Album: Husband (EP) 

Label: Self-released 

Genre: Indie rock 

Comments: Husband, or the Perth-born Michael Paolino, likens himself to the intense, broody rock of The National and The Antlers. While Paolino's voice definitely sounds a lot like Matt Berninger's, I would halt The National comparisons there. Husband is a classic case where the whole is less than the sum of its parts. The tracks are relatively strong, but somehow, at the end of the EP I still don't have a connection to the lyrics or music. Nothing resonates too hard. Start with "Ordinary".
