Lead single "Empty Skeleton" sounds like if Rage Against the Machine and Phantogram had a baby. On "Almost Lifelike" the songs are brooding, and Ted Richardson does a wonderful job of keeping the band's intricacies compressed and cohesive when they need to be, and he's also not afraid to let the crescendo's really explode when the material demands it. The ambiance slowly builds to a sudden dynamic shift, and as soon newly requited drummer Jamile Wiggins hits the snare Shadowplay sounds like an entirely new animal in comparison to their early work. Edward Flynn kicks off the record with yet subtly guitar arpeggio very much in the veins of post-rock bands like Maserati or Mogwai, and when lead singer Andrew Corkery begins to sing he's more subtle than ever before. For one thing, it's the very first song the band has recorded that wasn't written by guitarist Dan Holden or multi-instrumentalist John Sellers. What's different about "Almost Lifelike" is apparent almost immediately on the album's first song: "Zach Likes Trains". The band was smart to choose to work with Richardson again for their next album. "Sandy Eyes", named after the Hurricane that brought devastation to the group's home state the year prior, was certainly an improvement in their production quality however, it was still very clearly a song in the classic rock vein. The bands most recent release of original material before "Almost Lifelike" was the 2013 single "Sandy Eyes" and it was the first time they were connected with producer Ted Richardson. This time around, the horizon of influence is far more vast. In their early years the group was very clearly influenced by the sounds of classic rock and grunge music from the 70's and 90's. Shadowplay's second album "Almost Lifelike" is unlike anything the band has ever done before. Memories and thoughts shall remain and grow Two eyes filled with passion simplicity withholds its scope. Transcend plagued eyes of lust so compassion can endure The wounds are all healed, she’s doing well Life, mankind, and all that the world can bestow. We found each other within this common place A moment I found I’ll never replaceĪll I ask for is one sincere gift for her
So the people are the final judge and jury The US government terrorized the people of Cuba for over 30 years in an attempt to bring about an uprising that would lead to a US invasion. In 1990, the Central American wars were culminated by the murder of six Jesuit priests by US-trained Salvadoran terrorists In 1988, the Reagan administration provided aid to terrorists in Angola, which led to 1.5 million deaths If she’s feeling right, she’ll say the wordsįor avoiding to see through these people’s eyes She says ‘how wonderful to be here together
