Technical problems that has people checking their phones to see if they have accidently dialled a wrong number and put their phone on loudspeaker, blights the efforts of Cedar Falls to settle into their harmony producing, Stereophonics-mirroring set.
A The Libertines veined intro shakes a disinterested seat hogging crowd into an attentive state in ‘Car Crash’. Then the Liverpudlian trio settle into a middle of the road indie groove. Keiron Coyne pulls of the tough task of singing while playing bass with great aplomb.
A tempo change in the form of the gruff and downtrodden ‘Ballad of a Broken Heart’, means that frivolous chit-chat starts to increase in prominence. However, this is by no means a bad thing, it adds a perspective to the subject matter about being ignored and lends a neat ambient touch. It might be something for them to bear in mind when they get around to recording it?
