Legs
\nAltitud
\n<\/i>(Unsatisfied Records)
\n3\/5<\/p>\n

The first two tracks (\u201cJungle\u201d and \u201cTop of the World\u201d) on Brooklyn indie dance group Legs\u2019 new album, Altitud,<\/i> are forgettable, but the album really picks up on the third track, \u201cHide and Seek.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legs\u2019 slower, synth-driven songs are boring and meandering, suited for a movie soundtrack, which is perhaps their intention considering the bands success last year with the single \u201cSo Obvious,\u201d which was featured in the movie Obvious Child.<\/i><\/p>\n

The upbeat, dance-driven songs found in the belly of this album gave me some faith, and I praise their funky, bass-ridden tune \u201cWhole Wide Woman,\u201d the highlight of Altitud.<\/i> It\u2019s a down-tempo, lyrically sensual groove monster. I won\u2019t be listening to this album in its entirety again, but I will be seeking out this song in the very near future.<\/p>\n

For the most part, I found Altitud<\/i>\u00a0disappointing; I likely won\u2019t be listening to the entirety of it again. Legs did intrigue me enough, however, to seek out other tunes by them in hopes of coming across more of their funkier stuff. Legs have clear talent but this album was not my jam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
