The rock duo from Roswell, GA, known as
The Six Sixes have released their eponymous debut record LP, titled,
“The Six Sixes.” The album contains 14 original tracks for a
total playing time of over 50 minutes, making for a fairly
comprehensive and generous introduction to music listeners worldwide.
The album is a modern rock title with an honest, independent-label
feel to its excellent production, and boasts some of the most
creative and fun songwriting the scene has been privy to since the
Ramones.
The general sound of “The Six Sixes”
by The Six Sixes suggests a combination between Pete Doherty's The
Libertines and the hotter numbers on The Jesus and Mary Chain's 1995
album, “Psychocandy.” Like the Mary Chain, The Six Sixes are
bursting with restrained aggression that leaks from between their
well-penned lines, their melodies colorful and profound, raggedly
blurred with a Nirvana-style noisiness over everything.
There is a poppy, Beatles-esque
cleverness to their chord progressions, as well as bright, active
bass lines that recall the quietly prominent bass of 80s and 90s
bands like The Cure. Percussion is straightforward, laid-back,
delicately ingenious and as precise as a jazz drummer who does
surgery in his spare time.
The result of all this is a form of alt
rock that can happily be played under almost any circumstances,
although the listener will quickly learn that the louder this album
is, the better it sounds. This is at least partially due to their
background in electronic dance music, which informs the spacious,
cosmic atmosphere of digital effects that surrounds their music like
drifting clouds. There are little, subtle sonic details that cannot
be properly appreciated unless the listener's stereo is at a 6 of 10.
Concerning the themes in the fantastic
writing of their record, The Six Sixes say, “Our debut is sort of
about coming of age during the Bush/Obama era. Its lyrical content is
romantic, but dystopian. It’s about how love is an illusion.”
“The Six Sixes” by The Six Sixes is
available online everywhere beginning April 22, 2013.
