Single Review
Detachments - CirclesDetachments – Circles

Detachments are another one of those bands that decide to play that same old electronic music that you have been over hearing for the past 18months as every single band seems to be doing it these days, it really does seem that if you don’t put a bit of electrics into your music then you are not going to succeed and the scene kids are not going to love you, I don’t think this is the actual case but bands these days seem to think it is.

‘Circles’ is the new single from Detachments and it is released on the 30th November, I really can’t get on with the song as it relies heavily on synths and electronic beats and sounds very much robot sounding, however the good thing going for the song is towards the later part of the song it sounds like part of an epic movie soundtrack sadly it just isn’t enough to get me excited.

The b-side ‘H.A.L’, is just as irritating as the main song, once again it features really annoying synths and also over the top repetitive vocals, the song runs for 3minutes 17seconds which happens to be 3minutes and 17seconds to long for my liking.

I have nothing against this new wave of electronic influenced alternative music as long as the band brings their own style into the music and does something decent with it, but what the Detachments have done here is bland, boring and very irritating, the band’s debut album is released in 2010 and they have already been tipped for big things, however I really can’t see big things happening for these guys at the moment.

2/5
