Deas Vail - Deas Vail



Artist: Deas Vail
Album: Deas Vail
Date Released: 10/11/2011
Genre: Indie Rock

Birds & Cages was a decidedly polished album, a sign that Deas Vail would not return to the shimmering, dreamy rock that they came to prominence with. With their self-titled release, the third full-length in their discography, the shimmering, dreamy feel has resurfaced with a more mature overtone. The opening track "Desire" features Laura and Wesley's vocal lines layered over each other, hinting at the rich complexity of the music, but its simple melodies will be sure to keep you from getting too lofty an impression. And yet, the guitar lines are spacey and ethereal - it's guaranteed to take you somewhere else. All in all, this album is one that can carry its own among the chunkier side of indie rock, and is a great addition to Deas Vail's discography.

8/10
