New Body Type Pink Boys

While listening to Pink Boys, a new album by the New Body Type, I immediately felt like I was listening to an album from the ‘70s. The band has presented a very throwback kind of vibe. Containing eleven songs, the album runs for about 25 minutes. 25 minutes of a punk edge meeting David Bowie and They Might Be Giants. The lyrics are very well written and the band is musically sound. The melody flows and has a great harmonic sound. The bass line drives the band in most of the songs and is accompanied by a flowing lead guitar part. The percussion is solid and isn’t overpowering, which happens a lot in the alternative/ punk genre. As far as the lead vocalist goes, he has a great voice for the genre and is solid on his delivery. My only gripe about the album is the mixing; It has a muddy quality. Because of this, the album tends to sound a little monotonous. Hopefully the listener can overlook the rough mix and focus on the great lyrics and very musically talented band. I would definitely suggest not only this album but also other works by New Body Type.-E.M. Serensky
