The Isomers EP Review

The Isomers EP Review
EP: The Isomers Extended play
Artist: The Isomers
Duration: 25:04mins
Release date: 24th April 2015
Tracks: 6

      From the federal capital rises this unique, fun and loving rock band, THE ISOMERS consists of five(5) band members: Seun Daniel (lead singer) Motie Tru(lead Guitarist) Issac( Bass Guitarist, back vocals) Monlee( Keyboard) and Nelson Oladeji(Drums).  
    The EP had an experimental sound of its own from folk rock to blues rock back to punk rock, probably because of their influences from bands like: Mumford and sons, pink, fall out boys to name a few.   

      My favorite is Pretty flowers, it has this punk rock feel to it, when I first listened to the song it reminded me of a song I had heard before, though it started out low then pitched professionally well and I applaud them.
      Bleed Away is another track I love my them, the lyrics is deep, the instruments are smooth and compelling not forgetting the originality and creativity of this track.
      Coming down to Oya, this track has a little bit of a similar sound to Olori oko by Infinity, commercially it was the most successful track on the Ep.
       Home would be the fourth track I would go for, it has this sound to it that keeps you still till you are done with it then it leaves you with a smile and total relief
      I would also commend the album art it was quite creative, you could almost see silence in the picture
      With the variation and uniqueness of their tracks, there's one thing we can say for sure is they are here to brigade the gap between rock and urban music and In their own way also shade a different light on the genre in Nigeria.

      Seeing this band perform on stage was magical, they had the hearts of the audience , they have a good head start this being their first EP/ work, there's always room for improvement, this is a band to watch out for and we expect the best from them.

Thoughts on a Wilder Mind

Thoughts on a Wilder Mind. I'm gonna give it to you straight, I like the regular mind. The one that plays the Banjo and the Dobro and the Double Bass and all them traditional stuff. Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm too conservative  and I don't like stuff like a wild mind but I really think Mumford and Sons should have stuck with the traditional folk music and not swing head on into commercial rock.
     Hard fans of Indie Rock and Mumford & Sons like me would tell you, bands like this here, are hard to come by. The lyrical content, the sound of the Banjo, you just can't get it anywhere else. Just plain genius. Comparing the Wilder Mind album with previous materials, Sigh) Babel,let and Sigh No More... It goes without saying, something went down. The Banjos were gone, in comes electric guitars and effects. Replacing the double bass is a bass guitar, I was like, what the fuck were they thinking? They decided to do away with the one thing that stands them out.
    Listening to the record for the first time, I made no connection whatsoever. Sounded like another regular Indie band from London. The enigmatic effect was gone. I know some fans would disagree, some might even say this is their best work yet, to those people I say; I guess we like them for different reasons.
        The song Wilder Mind was a good one. Ditmas I have described as the missing link between Wilder Mind album and Mumford and Sons (go-figure). Tompkins Square Park was quite groovy. I'm not contradicting myself here. Not saying Wilder Mind is not a good album, alls I'm saying is, it's not a good Mumford and Sons' album. Some of us don't appreciate experiments or God forbid, crossovers.
