Reservoir
\nCicurina Vol. 1
\n<\/i>(Glory Kid Records)
\n4\/5<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania\u2019s Reservoir are about to remind you of what the word \u201cemo\u201d once meant. Once upon a time, bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and Mineral actually embraced heart-on-sleeve emotion in music and delivered it to an energetic rock soundtrack that wasn\u2019t overly slick or pandering in its songwriting structure, and that\u2019s what Reservoir accomplish on this latest EP.<\/p>\n

Sort of, anyway: they\u2019re pretty slick, and they incorporate a lot more dream-pop\/shoegaze elements into their sound, particularly with the swirling guitar work and occasionally meandering songs. But it all works (and, hey, Mineral meandered sometimes, too).<\/p>\n

The band should have no problem extending their sound to a full-length worth of material when the mood strikes them. For now, these four songs will take listeners back to the mid-\u201990s just fine. \u201cWaves Erase\u201d conjures up memories of classic emo bands like Christie Front Drive and Boys Life, and for that alone, Reservoir deserve your attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
