We Have Sound, What About You?


What I mean is that I have We Have Sound, the debut album by London native, Tom Vek. Allmusic.com has a decent review of it. Condensing what they said, I will say that Vek does a superb job of blending elements of indie rock with the loop-based music of his electronica background. Yes this is what everyone is doing now (Bloc Party, I'm looking at you), but there is something about Vek's execution that seems to make his effort noteworthy. There is definitely a raw character to a lot of this album and I think that's one of the elements that allows it to succeed in what is admittedly becoming a very crowded field. Anyway, I highly recommend checking this album out. All of you.
