WHB by We Have Band | Album Review

The electronics are not strong enough nor as prominent to be classed as Electro. The instruments are not hard enough to be classed as Rock, so we have a subtle crossover and a delicate blend between the two.

EXPERIMENTAL would be an appropriate word used in some opinions regarding the sound of We Have Band but this is has quite a familiar feel. Just with the 21st Century twist. Take the Human League and collaborating them with Morrissey, remixed by The Whip.

WHB, their debut album introduces you with Piano. A minimal track which has an uplifting brightness as if the sun is breaking through, beginning to shine for the first time on a cloudy morning. The individual talents of the entire three members shows of more so the production skills rather than the playing of instruments as a minimal almost throughout alike to The xx except with more warmth.

Hear It In The Cans for me is one of the smarter numbers as the structure of the track is varied with levels but combined well resulting in almost an intricate track, but so sweet and passive is really delivered quite cleverly. Their single release Divisive is brilliant, 80′s synth disco style. Then with You Came Out (below) with the random Punk-esque vocals and the Indie harmony supporting. It’s so crazy it seems to work.

The songs are diverse yet simple, complex but effortless. It is creative, discerning and profound.

WHB by We Have Band is available now on iTunes right now.
