A Will Away – “Bliss” [EP] [Album Review]
The problem with bands like A Will Away is that their cocktail of pop, emo and indie ends up sounding like the musical equivalent of cheap vanilla ice-cream – extremely bland with little taste or flavour.
The problem with bands like A Will Away is that their cocktail of pop, emo and indie ends up sounding like the musical equivalent of cheap vanilla ice-cream – extremely bland with little taste or flavour. Bliss, while not be a bad example of what the genre holds, also doesn’t present anything different to what the rest of this genre offers.
While there is an obvious ability to write a decent song and there is plenty of emotion in Matt Carlson’s lyrics on tracks like “Cheap Wine,” there is little on Bliss to raise the pulse above a murmour. To define Bliss as easy listening would be an understatement but it’s also a fairly accurate one, the problem is that while A Will Away write the kind of indie/emo rock that just calmly washes over you making little fuss, it does very little, if anything at all, to really command your attention.
