 
Synth driven indie music seems to be taking over
these days and the latest band to adapt to that
style of music is Post War Years but not only
do these guys bring synths to the indie table
they also bring a bit of hip-hop and have created
a massive mixture which in my honest opinion is
a little too much especially during their latest
single ‘White Lies’.
‘White Lies’ starts off with a massive
set of synths, disc scratching and hip-hop style
vibes and the whole mixed together coming at you
thick and fast over the opening 20seconds sounds
extremely spinney, seriously you would be forgiven
for thinking that you were stoned at the opening
moments of the song, as the song progresses it
gets very repetitive and ever so boring.
The b-side ‘Wishes’ sounds like a
totally different song from a totally different
band the synths start off soft and build up over
time giving off a lot of feedback as the synths
start to sound bigger and stronger over the seconds
and before you know it the song has finished and
way before it gets anywhere.
The thing with Post War Years is that I really
can’t put my finger on what kind of fan
base they have or will have once they get a few
songs out as I seriously can’t figure out
who their music will appeal to but I do know that
it certainly isn’t me.
1/5
