As suggested by Beth Ward
I find this album a little hit and miss. The first track, What's in it for me is a perfect example; first it's a miss - there's not a lot going on musically and it's just a bit dull, hit - the lyrics are great, they're an orginal telling of the standard lyrical theme, break-ups.
Second song - hit, third - miss, fourth - hit, you get the picture.
So what are you looking forward to when listening to this album? Well if you like the musical stylings of Bob Dylan, Pavement or The Smiths then I urge you to give it a try. Imagine a smush of all of the above with the overdrive turned up high and the temperature turned down low.
So all in all, the lyrics and general feel of Bows + Arrows is really enjoyable but at times the drones and lack of much musical diversity can cause a bit of tedium, which is probably why it's taken me four months to write this piece. Or maybe the reason is that I've just been waiting for the right weather to suit the album.
5/10
Serving suggestion:
Stick it on on a sunny summer's day whilst sipping on that cool beer and lie back and drift into that pre-sun-stroke daze.
