This Old House

We recently released our 6-track EP "This Old House" over 3 intimate evenings at the Step Inn Front Bar in January. We handmade 100 copies which have since sold out. With another run of CD's to be lovingly crafted for the next gig (12th March).

To our suprise the 4zzz ZEDblog reviewed the EP, it wasn't the greatest review but that was their take on the CD. We would love to hear yours...?

here it is...

Wipedoubt have created a background album. An album that you put on when you want music, but don’t really care about what is actually playing. The music is ok, influences like The Doves, Widespread Panic and Something For Kate among others. But I am having to force my ears to listen hard to try and catch the lyrics. I don’t mind working for my musical pleasure, but please don’t force me to try and decipher the lyrics. That just becomes painful.

Maybe they just wanted no-one to be able to understand what they were saying. It is shoe gazer music after all, and that it is supposed to be deep, dark and emotional and contain all sorts of melodic man moaning. But shouldn’t I be able to understand what is being moaned about?

It makes me want to read the lyrics so that I can try to understand the emotional content in the songs. But why should I have to read anything. It is the bands job to make me feel what they are putting forth, and take me to the emotional place their music is coming from.

Maybe the singer needs to enunciate better so that we can understand him. Maybe they need to bring the singer out more in the mix.

To many maybes.
