War Tapes - “The Continental Divide” - Bin It

text: Daniel Couch

The Continental Divide is highly polished, paint-by-numbers guitar rock that takes no chances musically and is slathered in a sheen of production endorsed by the most up-to-date market research. Lyrically the album looks to the past as much as the music, reveling in themes of regret, loss and starting over.

Reminds us of: The Killers but without the keyboards | Interpol | Sugar before we heard Hüsker Dü

War Tapes: (Official / MySpace)

Previous (Phoenix - "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" - Buy It) Next (K'naan - "Troubadour" - Borrow It)

love that melophobe has more “couples” reviewers, and more “Ian/Ion/Ian/Iain” than the average site…

Kelli Shaefer’s songs get stuck in my head non-stop. Every other day I find myself waking up with one in there. And that’s a good thing, she’s a talent!
