The Wow Signal are a British four-piece who offer
us some modern rocking
blended with a partially nostalgic vocal.
Musically, it's got bags of oomph and really rocks
you to the core.
Vocally, a Bowie influenced fluctuating singer
who almost seems a little
out of place in many of the tracks, or at least,
not doing the backing
justice; reference to “Lovers Scum”
there, which is just bursting with
potential. However, now and again, and on “Debunked”
for example, it
works quite well. The rough attachment to melody
compliments the rough
grungy tones elsewhere.
As an album, as a sound, as a group. I'm not convinced.
Just when
something is really beginning to niggle at you,
you'll stumble across a
riff, or a chorus of utter genius. But the consistency
isn't there.
Certainly not bad though. A generally clean rock
sound, with
hard-hitting pacey numbers as well as the mandatory
slow ones. The solos
don't attempt anything new, they're classic, deliberate,
and well
placed, much like a May or Clapton.
Maybe it's a grower, we'll have to wait and see.
Certainly worth a
sample though.
3.5/5
