Album title:
'The Hardest Walk'
Artist:
Soledad Brothers
Label:
Loog *extended for web
Walker's vocals are uncannily similar to Bobby Gillespie's lethargic slur and although not a problem, there are times when it appears a Primal Scream tribute act have hijacked your stereo – none so more than on latest single Good Feeling. As a trio, the 'Brothers show impressive ability and imagination in the choice and use of instruments – 'Brother Oliver Henry is credited with no less than nine instrumental inputs to the album. Such ability would appear to reinforce their reputation as a thrilling live act. Unfortunately for the thrill-seekers among us, this doesn't entirely shine through on record. [Jon Seller]
The Hardest Walk' is out on March 6.
