The scarce beauty of the backing track allowing the words to take to the fore, the perfect way to end such a topsy turvy album.ĭead Letterbox is an album that at times lacks focus, and whilst at times Imaginary People stray away from what initially piques our interest. Ultimately this isn’t a huge downfall, but when Imaginary People hit the sweet spot, they do so with such an exquisite sound.įortunately though they close out on a huge high with the intensely beautiful Stella, by far the most intense track with Dylan delivering his impassioned lyrics. Their genre flitting at times becomes quite tiresome, despite the variety there is little direction, as they touch upon a sweet Americana infused ballad before unleashing a track that would fill any indie disco dancefloor in the form of Fever Nation. The more sinister vibe exuding from the track Dylan’s captivating drawl drawing you in as the blasts of sweet guitar accompany the pounding bassline. Yet with so many facets to their sound Imaginary People continue to pique attention at every turn, with the grandiose tones of Gingerbread Girl. There is also a darker, haunting vibe that is at odds with the brighter and at times more palatable tracks that make up Dead Letterbox. The beauty of the album is instead found in the more chilled out tracks.Īgata is the perfect example of this the delicate all encompassing beauty of the atmospheric track once again paired with the intense and heavily effected vocals. This dancefloor sensibility and hook-laden indie rock underpins the album, the band seldom touch on the depths of garage rock. Opener Simple Life, is an urgent slice of indie rock delivered with heart and passion, whilst maintaining an insistent groove that sets up this exciting album perfectly. Dead Letterbox captures the bands insatiable sound, they vary wildly throughout transcending their initial garage rock tag almost immediately. Produced by the wonderful Kevin McMahon of Titus Andronicus, Widowspeak and Real Estate fame. Imaginary People have been making waves across the pond with a critically acclaimed debut EP, and are finally releasing their beguiling debut album. So,uh, here we go, here's a song, it's called Letterbox.A mix of genres that sees Imaginary People branch out away from their Garage Rock tag, resulting in a plethora of intriguing sounds.
"You think they're gonna do.Fingertips on it?" And it's, it's really.and we also have this wireless, so.and, and the vocals come through these we were thinking, maybe tomorrow night if the show isn't canceled cause of the storm, we could just have these things on before and kind of start doing like a "My Mother The Car" like: (deep voice) "No, they are not doing Fingertips tonight." But that show's not gonna happen anyway because of the storm. But as we're going on stage, we can hear conversations, you know, before it's like. Basically, we wouldn't be able to hear applause at the end of songs if these things weren't here. They, um, our.our very conscientious soundman uh.uh.John Carter has set up these PZM microphones right here that give us, like, a bit of the house so. JF: Fuck all y'all! But the thing that's cool about these.the weirdest effect of this is that because they're they're.if it was just the mics on stage it would be completely dead, um, and give you kinda that Steely Dan vibe free.thing. JL: We're listening to The Sopranos right now. JF: But it's electronically linked, to uh.stuff. JL: For people in the back of the audience, we're wearing little earplugs in our. Like, it's like the "modern thing." Evidently it helps with uh, um, deafness. I don't even know who wears these things.
Actually, no it's the, we've got these three days ago. JL: Was that Danny or was that the teleprompter guy? We got these things now.people can have private communications with. JF: What's next? I can't read the setlist I took medication.
