The Stevens
\nGood
\n<\/i>(Chapter Music)
\n3.5\/5<\/p>\n

The second album from Melbourne alternative band The Stevens is refreshing and calming and brings a warm feeling to rest in the listener\u2019s chest. It blends into one perfect melody for summer road trips, as well as late-night study sessions.<\/p>\n

Opener \u201cChancer\u201d is a soft and emotional song that found its way onto my personal summer playlist. Its melody is smooth while the lyrics are profound and relatable. The second track, \u201cGrandstands,\u201d is upbeat and vibrant, but a problem surfaces shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n

Some of the songs blend together too much, which could, sadly, make the album feel slightly repetitive unless you listen to the lyrics intently.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, there are gems throughout the album that make The Stevens\u2019 new music a worthwhile listen. A good song that brings the listener back in is \u201cFurnace Town,\u201d with its change of tempo and tone.<\/p>\n

Overall, Good <\/i>is a promising addition to summer soundtracks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
