Title: Sway Artiste: Marian Hill Genre: Um ... jazz? Cabaret? Not sure... Familiarity: Zero Track 1(Love) So is this the twenties again? Very sensual voice (Marian Hill is not the singer's name, so far as I can ascertain, but that of the duo; there is minimal, which is to say almost zero, information on them so I can't tell you anything. Even their Bandcamp page is empty.) This is driven on smoky sax and thick bass, with sort of very little percussion. Kind of reminds me of Sam Brown in a way. Lot of sampling going on here, and despite the twenties comment above this actually does a great job bridging vintage and modern music. Track 2(Love) Slower, quite sultry; music is certainly driven on the vocals with the sax a lot of the time in the background mostly. Good use of synths, percussion is again minimal. Track 3(Love) Definitely gives me the feeling of being in some smoke-filled cabaret hall, maybe during the war. Very evocative. Track 4(Love) Harder kind of sound, handclaps reminiscent of “We will rock you”. Sampling is again well done. Powerful song. Great ending. Track 5(Love) This one has a real sway (sorry) about it Track 6(Love) Heavier feel to this Track 7(Love) Yeah, like this one too. End result: Certainly different. Her voice drives everything and it's sultry as all hell. Sax is good but the samplers are really the other half of the success of this. Worth watching, could be very big. They'd want to get some info about themselves out there though: to have an album out and an empty Bandcamp page is not a good start. So, Love or Hate? This would be a Love. (Note: I'm cutting out the “Chances of a full review” bit as it's really pointless)

I do like SB but a lot of the time they can definitely wander into technowank territory, and then I really don't care for them. I have, though, only heard about three of their albums I think.
OK. I did Are you dead yet for Metal Month, just so you know. Sure. I said any genre, so throw it at me.

I thought that was what you were referring to. Phenomenal album but it'll probably get a true hate.
