Free Element - Remember This
Detroit, Michigan’s Free Element enters the scene with a strong ten-track debut in “Remember This”. If you can picture Watashi Wa’s strong hooks and forceful instrumentation in “Love of Life”, mixed with My Spacecoaster’s moodiness, then you’re on the right track with describing this band. In fact, singer Andy Perry’s gentle and melancholy stylings are reminiscent of the latter’s vocals, and they offer a nice contrast to the bombast of the music underneath.
The production values are a bit lacking. I would’ve liked the kick drum to be upped in the mix a little more. On the upside, the overall experience is more raw and not robotically pristine.
Keep your eyes locked on these guys, because they have the potential to go places.
