Blank Screens

Blank Screens is perhaps the best release of 2006, and Dare I say, the best of the 2000's, thus far: Out of thier 3 full releases, Blank Screens can definetely been seen as thier best endeavour. The Melodies are infectious, arrangements lush and gorgeous, and Andrew Paley finally came out of his shell and sang his heart out. His voice is the main thing about the record I noticed. On thier first record, his voice began as a low, weathered moan, by thier second, he picked up a stronger vocal range, and now, he is breaking loose and really showing what he can do behind a microphone. Songs like Cherry Red, Skyscrapers, and Especially lights in the Attic where he successfully pulls off the falsetto. Combining several musical elements ranging from the early 80's to the current day, the entire record is a perfect reprieve to most of the cookie-cutter music out right now. It's a perfect record for anyone who wants to feel something deeper when they listen to it.

Cherry Red is a great song because of the diverse instrument usage and the awesome beat and lyrics. It is the absolute best song The Static Age has made yet. You should definetly listen to this song it ROX!

Absolutely amazing! Very excited to hear new music from the band. Have been anxiously awaiting this release for some time now. Love the drummer...prefect match, brings new life to the group. Can't wait to see this explode!

Ah, something different. Feels like a merge between the Postal Service, the Cure, and Coldplay and the result is fantastic. Skyscrapers, Trauma, and Cherry Red are certainly worth a look.

Blank Screens is amazing. The Static Age play music that brings together shoegazer like MyBloodyValentine and Slowdive and combine it with The Clash and The Police. The result is a powerful, amazing, beautiful, exciting record. Get this new.
