Things That Fly ‘Things That Fly’
Things That Fly captures your heart with chiming lyrical rhymes and nourishing, imaginative soundscapes, flashing nostalgic fuzzy 90s rock aesthetic. The captivating EP from the band Things That Fly is filled with charming songs. Free-spirited, spicy and noise-coiled melodic sensation in the company of clashing percussions and reverberant guitarscapes. Grit and creativity is being intricately woven together.
Things That Fly has a sort of distant and rainy feel that resembles the soundscapes drawn by PJ Harvey. It burns with pop and angst like Avril Lavigne and haunting grunge vibe as Nirvana. The pinch of melodic fierceness also reminds you something of Paramore’s. The album no doubts evokes many familiar feelings, as if ghosts joining up for a dance, but there’s also something new and refreshing happening there. Things That Fly isn’t like the rest of harsh and bleak rock n roll written by angry men who seek for the one thing they can’t get from a bullet to the head. The soundscapes in this album feels adventurous, vibrant and freeing. “Nothing in the Middle” rings in with bright colors in an emo-infused soundscapes. Something would never die. Something will always be alive. That’s the spirit of rock n roll and these ladies bring that young and tearful kind of spirit back.
“Crunch Went the Snow” dives into scenic immersion with unique melodies that paint a mood-filled sky. Drastic and intricate feelings are on a train of awakening. In crashing percussions and fleeting melodies, the song has an edge as well as a heart.
“Early River” surprises you with Green Day jumpy punk rhythm. The song immediately leaves a strong impression, drawing a parallel forestry folk aesthetic. “Don’t Count Me Out” returns to earthy acoustic rock ballad with a bend of indie. Rainy and moody, intimate and unapologetic. “Confidence” concludes the EP with a middle finger, announcing its uniqueness.
As a track that can be enveloped into any style or form, it keeps dancing its way from one idea to another. At one point, it bounces around with quirky chords. At another, it rumbles and flows, then it showers down in loud clangs, thunder and storm. Then the cinematic dance of vocal and piano kicks in, accompanied by a wooden backbeat.
