So like with most bands, I'm going to tell you a little bit about the band and then we'll dive into my thoughts on Art/Facts.
So Prime (UK Band) was a band from the East Midlands, Nusic described them as "One of the best live bands" and that's a pretty flattering title to give a band,
The band consisted of
Lee Heir: Vocals
Chris D Bramley: Guitar and vocals
For Fans of: Oasis, The Rolling Stones, The Clash, David Bowie, Red Hot Chilli Peppers
So sadly, Prime announced they would be ending their journey as a band, but that doesn't mean you can't still support them and show them some love! Whilst their music is out there you're very capable of being able to do that! So please do! Anyway, into my thoughts on Art/Facts.
So the album opens with In Summer which is a great opening track, it's got a good rhythm and it's a happy sounding track, the same can be said about the second track Bye Bye, they're good songs, they're not my favourite tracks, but they're good, and the placement on the album is great! We then move onto the third track titled To Be or Not To Be, which again, sounds good, it's got a decent rhythm, it sounds quite funky. This track feels like it packs a bit more than the previous tracks, and overall it's a good song. The next track is I.O.U, this is more comparable to the first two tracks, and the overall impression at this point is that they sound 70s inspired, that's the only way I can think to describe the tracks. No Sign of Life is again comparable to the other tracks, and that's not a bad thing because they all flow nicely from one to another. Up next is Free N' Easy, which again, doesn't sound dissimilar to the others, but I think to this point it's one of my favourite tracks on the LP, it's softer, which is quite complimenting. Like The Weather comes on next, and this to me is the standout track. It's got more of a beat to it, it's slightly louder, it's more rock vibes rather than indie. Flatline follows on in the footsteps of the previous track, again it has more of a rock sound rather than indie, which I do thoroughly enjoy, and it's that which makes these tracks stand out to me a bit more. Take Me To Your Crew, again, is similar to the previous track and again, it isn't a bad thing. It's quite a refreshing sound, it's more like 70s rock, and it's great, this does sound like the classic bands like The Clash and The Stones. Now, on the approach to the end of the album we reach White Boys, White Noise. It reminds me of a similar sound to Fight For Your Right (To Party) if it was slightly softer, which again, it's nice and refreshing. Second, to last is actual a remix of Bye Bye, obviously, being a remix it sounds very much like a more modern, softer variation of EDM. The last track is Teen TV, but a live version of it. At this point, it becomes apparent as to why Nusic ranked them as highly as they did, clear vocals, a good beat, and a pleasant listening experience.
Overall, I'm going to give the LP a 3.5 out of 5 lemons, it isn't my favourite LP, but it isn't my favourite genre, however, I can see a lot of people really liking it, so if you're looking to listen to some new music then go and check them out, and appreciate the music for what it is!
