The aforementioned song and the title track both rock in a more traditional Japandroids way however, there is an experimental electric ballad “I’m Sorry For Not Finding You Sooner” and a synthy rock tune by the name of “Arc of Bar.” While these songs aren’t revelations in and of themselves, they show that Japandroids are trying out new things. But Prowse keeps going until the song breaks back into its chorus. It’s not a drum solo so this moment not highlighted per se King’s guitar stays relatively complacent. Prowse’s drumming never ceases to amaze a favorite moment on this album is the bridge on “Midnight To Morning.” He keeps speeding things up to the point where anything faster seems impossible.
If you get to see the band live, their sweat might find you. The energy and passion that Brian King (guitars, vocals) and David Prowse (drums, backing vocals) bring to their music is undeniable. That being said, the Japandroids sound is still front and center and the band seems to be enjoying themselves as they burn the world to the ground. There is a world-weariness apparent in the lyrics and the band changes up speeds with gusto – it’s not just adrenaline on display this time around. An alternative title to the album could be We’ve Grown Up Just Enough But Still Wanna Rock. Fire Note Says: Rock lovers rejoice: Japandroids have returned!Īlbum Review: Are you ready to rock? If so, Canadian duo Japandroids have something for you on their third LP, Near To The Wild Heart of Life.
