DKZ are the most recent Ok-pop workforce to liberate an album referred to as “Reboot.” For no matter reason why, those “reboots” have a in reality nice observe file, leading to tremendous robust paintings from Marvel Ladies, Golden Kid and Treasure. However this time round, I’m no longer in reality certain what DKZ are rebooting. Name observe Like A Film sounds adore it can have have compatibility with ease on any in their different albums.
I’ve been questioning if the massive luck of TWS’s Plot Twist would lead to a resurgence of shiny boy workforce fare. It’s most probably nonetheless too early within the 12 months to peer this occur, however Like A Film indubitably suits throughout the lineage. It’s an amiable toe-tapper, playful and carefree. I have a tendency to experience this taste, however little about this music catches my ear. It opens with a catchy guitar loop ahead of launching right into a sprightly verse that provides technique to a extra competitive pre-chorus.
Sadly, Like A Film‘s refrain falls flat. The vocal combine is uninteresting and the melodies stall reasonably than jump. The observe desires to be punchy however in some way loses power whilst the fellows are shouting at us. Perhaps additional listens will tease out extra main points, however for now this is going in a single ear and out the opposite with out leaving a hint. Even the album’s Sweetune-produced b-side is a letdown (and weirdly… doesn’t sound like Sweetune in any respect?).
