The Good Natured - SkeletonThe Good Natured – Skeleton

The Good Natured have just signed to Parlophone Records and are just about to release their new EP ‘Skeleton’ which has a super catchy sound which sounds a bit like Kate Nash with a lot of synths thrown in and a slight gothic twist.

The opening track on the EP is ‘Skeletons’ and the song flows with such a good vibe and proves to be quite a happy track musically but lyrically the song is about being stripped of all your emotional and physical coverings leaving you like a skeleton which everybody on this planet technically is, the whole dark theme and catchy vibe works perfectly together.

‘Wolves’ it a big dance infused song about wolves dancing in the fire, the lyrics are well written and are vocally executed in such a clear passionate way, the synths running throughout the track are really positive and will have you reaching for your finest dancing shoes.

‘The Hourglass’ is a song about having a good time but knowing that the good time might only last for an hour and then knowing a bad time is up ahead, musically the song is more sleepy and darker sounding and tends to go on a bit too long despite running for pretty much the same amount of time as the previous tracks but it is the overall melody which gives you the sense of it out staying it’s welcome.

From listening to the ‘Skeleton’ EP I have to say that I quite like the sound of The Good Natured there are some really good moments on the EP and I am sure they are going to gather some real loyal fans in such a short space of time once the EP is released.

4/5
