Sergeant are a Fife four-piece offering up another
dose of happy-snappy indie – mixing both contemporary
styles with other nostalgic dream-pop elements.
Though the main guitar focus centres around the
thin twangs of The Smiths, and although there's
a tiny bit of The View sneaking through in the
lead vocals and harmonies, it's oh so very nineties
Bluetones. As previously stated, it's happy-snappy.
And not in the religious sense. It's just upbeat
and nod your head and enjoy the sunshine. But
wait, it's October. And this aint no winter warmer
– it begs for sunshine and good vibes galore.
Similar to the View, it's a bit middle of the
road. Maybe Sergeant will receive crital acclaim
and see major success from an album which is essentially
just as average as Hats Off To The Buskers.
For its genre, it's pretty good. Certainly not
cutting edge in any way, shape, or form; but it's
good.
For me, it really lacks the oomph of a good indie
record, you couldn't dance to any of these songs
if you tried. There's an inclination to gently
sway certainly, but that's your lot.
All the songs sound the same. What started as
an album which I wanted to review reasonably,
has now become a real bore. I don't want to listen
to one forty-three minute song. None of this nineties
faff.
2/5
