Folly Group
\nDown There!
\n<\/i>(So Young Records)
\n2.5\/5<\/p>\n

Down There!<\/i> is the debut album from British post-punk band Folly Group. The appeal of the album will depend largely on how much you enjoy the genre.<\/p>\n

I vibed to the beats and instrumentation but less so to the lyrics and vocals.<\/p>\n

To more enthusiastic fans of the genre, I\u2019m sure this rawness will be an appealing factor, but to me there\u2019s a creeping sense that the lyrics were a series of cool-sounding words with no particular meaning in aggregate.<\/p>\n

Listening to it alone, at a school computer, I found the experience grating, with each subsequent track sounding a little too similar to the previous to my untrained ear to warrant recommending the whole album.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But Down There!<\/i> isn\u2019t without charm. At a pub or maybe a rowdy party, it\u2019s not hard to imagine someone wanting to play a track or two. Just not me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
