:: The Academy Is - Almost Here

The Academy Is

Vibrant, fresh, energetic, fantastic. The compliments keep flowing for The Academy Is and their recent release Almost Here. Surprising and teaming with life the album ticks all the right boxes in terms of style and individuality, and delivers with satisfaction guaranteed. And the reason it’s so good is because through every lyric, and every beat it’s obvious this group love what they do. Rocking out and creating music is as natural to them as breathing, and their talent shows. A youthful fever flows throughout the album and is infectious hitting straight off the bat with the opening track rightfully titled Attention. From then on the vigour of The Academy Is storms off the CD with a breathless power. The Phrase that Pays is a knockout hit, Slow Down is anything but slow, with its fast paced beats bulging with passion. Black Mamba and Season continue the trend without a moment’s hesitation. Each track compliments the next, ensuring the album flows and maintains its level of excellence. It’s hard not to get drawn into the excitement and spirit of the songs. Although they sing of albeit normal issues such as love, loss and discovery, it’s the way in which the words have combined with the lively beats that make them so addictive. Nothing other than praise can be said on the part of Almost Here. Get yourself a copy.
