If I didn't know that ARLISS NANCY from the Midwest of the USA is currently coming through my speakers, I would have bet my thumbs that I was just hearing Frankie Stubbs from the divine LEATHERFACE. That raspy voice.... and only 30 seconds of "Wild American Runners" have been playing.... Very similar, singer Cory Call might be missing a touch of Frankie's unique (?) voice, but it's not much, especially since the music of ARLISS NANCY also reminds one of the more recent songs by LEATHERFACE. In this context, THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM and HOT WATER MUSIC should also be mentioned, whose paths ARLISS NANCY follows quite well.
Subjectively, I miss a bit of the fighting spirit in the emotional rock melodies of the 12 songs, which, through embellishments with piano and organ tones as well as a slight country sound, turn out to be quite contemplative. But that shouldn't detract from the album, which, by the way, is already the third from ARLISS NANCY. For quieter moments, the Americans are indeed better suited than the English with Frankie Stubbs.
And since the Americans aren't allowed to show anything, the naked tattooed lady on the album cover can unfortunately only be seen in stripes.... I can't say much more about the booklet since I don't have it :-( But at least the lyrics have been provided to me, so there's no minus point, which I usually do otherwise.
The album, with its 40 minutes, is available not only on CD but also on vinyl with a download code. Thumbs up!
