| Review: Peril Not A Pearl
is a good EP for Mark Arlie as it is a really good interesting
ride of an EP. It's starts off with a catchy poppy instrumental number
expecting you are getting this kinda music but when the second song Serenade
you are throw in into dark melodies mixed with rhythmics drums that remind
me a bit of some of the Straightjacket Fits songs. Ursula
is a song which dark, heavy and rocks with its power and beast of its
vocals. Targuin The Port Meister is another great song, which is
really, catchy, and poppy with driving beat and catchy vocals and the
backing vocals is a good touch. Cragdad is a really good song with
the violin and the piano an excellent touch and is moving to say the least.
It is a beautiful haunting song with its slow dark melodies and It is
probably the slowest song on the EP but it still manages to win you over
like the entire songs do. Grappling Iron is good that reminded
me off the whole straightjacket fits, flying nun scene and
is probably the most accessible song on the EP and is a song with poppy
melodies, good guitar playing and good vocals. The one thing about this
EP is that lyrics are well written and have something to say and that
is a good thing. This is an EP worth checking out if you after something
different with a bit of meat to it. I for one can't wait to see what he
will bring out next. Go to http://www.powertoolrecords.co.nz to purchase
