#460 The Soft Boys – Underwater Moonlight

Posted on by anoceanroars

The Soft Boys was a short-lived band, but their neo-psychedelia sound on their second album Underwater Moonlight inspired, such artists as R.E.M. and and the Pixies. They were ahead of their time. Songwriter and vocalist Kimberley Rew formed Katrina and the Waves.

Overall, the album was okay, but it never really got under my skin. I prefer the bands they inspired to make greater music. I think the vocals and the lyrics were the problem for me; neither of them moved me. 6/10.

…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).
