Spanish For 100
"Metric" CDEP
Self-released
Genre: indie rock, indie pop
May 2006 |
Sweet, melodic songwriting and delicious harmonies mark Spanish For
100's latest EP, Metric. Rocking right from the bat with
the infectious, neo-Superchunk-esque "Go Away, Come Home," this
record sets its tone quickly and makes for excellent listening. Slower
"Jungle With Lions" is a bit longer than it needs to be (though it's
good, catchy rock nonetheless), but guitar-soaked "Fell A Bird" and
the two massive parts to "Golden Days" make up for any drag. A live
version of "See Now" is thrown in as a bonus, driving the Awesome
Badge's pin even further into Spanish For 100's ribbon-ridden
lapel.
