Pure
Soundart – Bye Bye Beauty
When I first put the album on and '‘Hello,
You Are Beautiful’ was playing I thought Pure
Soundart sounded like a poor man’s Brand New
but after being patient and listening to the whole
album I realised they are majorly influenced by
the likes of Brand New and also You Will Know Us
By The Trail Of Dead and are far from being a poor
man’s version of either band as ‘Bye
Bye Beauty’ is simply a masterpiece.
‘Bye Bye Beauty’ is a 12 track progressive
rock album which is full of every emotion imaginable
and various different soundscapes, one minute
the songs may seem depressing and the next they
explode into a bundle of anger and that is what
makes listening to ‘Bye Bye Beauty’
so pleasing.
The album opens with ‘Hello, You Are Beautiful’,
like mentioned above it starts off sounding like
a classic Brand New track taken from there ‘The
Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me’ album
with the way that it starts off real mellow with
minimum soundscapes and then suddenly explodes
into a bundle of loud, fast and exciting noise
which shows just how eerie yet beautiful the songs
of Pure Soundart can be.
Pretty much every song on the album runs on the
same formula of starting off real chilled out
and then exploding into madness when you least
expect it and staying big and loud until the song
fades out ‘Haunting Roulette’ and
‘Life Is a Crime Scene’ are perfect
examples of this formula and proof that the formula
works well as both songs are classics.
It’s hard to find new bands these days
who play music which is full of every emotion
in the book where each and every song comes across
in an unpredictable yet pleasing way, bands like
Brand New and Manchester Orchestra are currently
at the top of the league with this style of music
and Pure Soundart are the first new band on the
horizon in ages who are here to challenge these
bands.
